Abstract		A common complaint that brings adult patients to the general practitioners office is respiratory disease. Lower respiratory tract infectioris represent a considerable part of these illnesses. The majority of patients with community-acquired pneumonia or acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are treated on an out-patient basis. Microbiological test are ordered only in rare cases, hence empirical treatment prevails which, however, requires appropriate national guidelines based on accurate data on the major respiratory pathogens and their present resistance to antimicrobials.
Summary		Odrasle bolnike najpogosteje privedejo v ambulanto splošnega zdravnika obolenja dihal, med katerimi predstavljajo znatni delež okužbe na spodnjih dihalih. Zdravljenje večine bolnikov z zunaj bolnišnično pljučnico in z akutno eksacerbacijo kronične obstruktivne pljučne bolezni poteka ambulantno. V diagnostično obravnavo teh boinikov so le izjemoma vključene mikrobiološke preiskave, zato je zdravljenje empirično. Tako zdravljenje pa zahteva ustrezna nacionalna priporočila, ki temeljijo na natančnih podatkih o najpogostejših povzročiteljih in pojavljanju odpornosti proti antibiotikom.
