[Prevention of acute infectious pneumopathies in adults].
The frequency and potential severity of infective pneumonia in adults justifies all attempts at prevention which is conditioned by the patient's underlying condition and the micro-organism involved. The value of antipneumococcal and anti-influenza vaccination in populations at risk is unquestionable, but ancillary measures, such as giving up smoking and improving the patient's immune mechanisms, should not be neglected.
