Роль отдельных эссенциальных и токсичных микроэлементов в патогенезе внебольничной пневмонии.

Abstract

Pneumonia remains one of the most pressing problems of pulmonology. Despite significant advances in antibacterial and antiviral therapy, mortality from this disease is not going down. Environmental factors play a significant role in the development of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. In the northern regions, such as the Republic of Karelia, environmental conditions unfavorable for human health act as risk factors that contribute to the occurrence or worsening of the disease. The Republic of Karelia, like other northern territories, has certain characteristics in terms of the content and distribution of chemical elements (or their compounds) in natural environments, making it a specific biogeochemical province. This survey discusses the role of individual essential and toxic trace elements in the pathogenesis of community-acquired pneumonia, which can help clarify and specify the causes of the long and complicated disease course. This opens up new prospects in the development of effective approaches to its treatment and prevention.
