Physiological Role of Alveolar Macrophage in Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection: Phagocytosis and Aging
Acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the deadliest communicable diseases. Inhaled pathogens that reach the alveoli are eliminated by lung-resident alveolar macrophages. Bacteria and fungi are detected and phagocytosed by specific pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that are highly e...
