Infectious diseases of the ear, nose, throat, and bronchus 2019-06-21 .txt text/plain 4192 322 46 This chapter discusses common infectious maladies: rhinopharyngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, and bronchitis. It involves ascertaining the answer to seven queries: (1) why this structure is infected: teleology of structure and function, (2) why this patient is infected: precritical terrain, (3) why this organism infected: the organism and its virulence-absolute and relative to the competency of host defenses, (4) why these symptoms are manifested: critical terrain during an infection, (5) what is the benefit of the infectious symptoms: its adaptive or adaptative role, (6) what is the current net state of the terrain: mechanisms and consequences of endogenous response of the infected, and response of the infector, and (7) how to manage: personalization of treatment based on the reality of both the infected and the infector. A congestive terrain with insufficient peripheral cortico-thyrotropic adaptation of immunity favors infections in this region of the body. ./cache/cord-325247-1nb174qy.txt ./txt/cord-325247-1nb174qy.txt
