title: [Antibiotic therapy in bronchopulmonary infections].
abstract: The causative agent of lower respiratory tract infection cannot always be determined even with invasive techniques. In most clinical situations an empirical choice of antibiotics is indicated, if only for early institution of therapy. Next to the often misleading clinical picture, consideration of the epidemiological setting and specific risk of underlying diseases is of value in selecting empirical therapy.
