| Description | Pneumology and phthisiology (respiratory medicine) has undergone dynamic development in the last two decades. The main focus of pulmonology in the past was care for patients with tuberculosis and pneumonia. Since then, respiratory medicine evolved and the current focus is on chronic pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, interstitial lung diseases, but also on acute lung conditions (e.g., pneumonia, pleural diseases, respiratory failure), pneumooncology or highly specialized care for rare lung diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, rare interstitial diseases). Bronchology, interventional pneumology and pulmonary function testing are also important components of respiratory medicine. The importance of respiratory medicine was apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we provide a brief overview of the most important news to the field of respiratory medicine in the year 2022, addressing the thematic areas of bronchology, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, interstitial lung diseases, pleural diseases, pneumooncology, tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. |
