Article information
The present article is an update of the literature on lower respiratory tract infections in critical patients.
A multidisciplinary group of Spanish physicians with expertise in the field selected what they considered to be the most important papers published during 2004 and 2005. Each article was analyzed and discussed by one of the members of the panel.
A critical review of all these contributions constitutes the body of this paper.
After a review of the state of the art, papers selected in the field of new guidelines, risk factors, new diagnostic methods, antimicrobial therapy, and prevention are discussed.
Key words:

El artículo presente recoge una actualización de la bibliografía médica relativa a las infecciones del tracto respiratorio inferior en los pacientes en situación clínica crítica. Un grupo multidisciplinario de clínicos españoles con experiencia en este área seleccionó los que consideró los artículos más importantes sobre este campo publicados en 2004 y 2005. Cada artículo fue analizado y discutido por uno de los miembros del grupo.
El artículo presente recoge una revisión crítica de todas estas contribuciones. Tras una revisión de la situación actual, se comentaron los artículos seleccionados relativos a las nuevas directrices, los factores de riesgo, los nuevos métodos diagnósticos, el tratamiento antimicrobiano y la prevención.
