Abstract
Acute lung injury secondary to pneumonia results from inadequate activation of the innate immune system with hyperinflammation and alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction. To date, effective strategies for prevention or treatment of acute lung injury in pneumonia besides antibiotics are lacking. In preclinical studies, promising therapeutic targets have been identified and novel strategies demonstrated to protect against lung failure in pneumonia. This review highlights some adjuvant therapeutic strategies for modulation of inflammation and stabilization of lung barrier function in pneumonia.
