Talk:Lower respiratory tract infection

Refs
I tried to clean up the formatting of the references today. I haven't dealt with all of them and I'm not actually sure how what format to use for citing some of them. I hope that someone else will be able to make further progress on this. I deleted:

[5] Ball P. Epidemiology and treatment of chronic bronchitis and its exacerbations. Chest. 1995 August 1, 1995;108(2):43S-52

because no inline refs actually refer to it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Tone

There are also uses where the term tract is omitted (Lower Respiratory Infect), e.g. a 2018 Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation study. --Kolya (talk) 08:50, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
