The reason for my present appeal is to draw the attention of a wide range of experts to long-known and proven scientific facts, which, despite their importance, remain unclaimed.

Specialists in the field of inflammatory diseases of the lungs are undoubtedly familiar with modern views on the nature of acute pneumonia (АР), the principles of their treatment and the tendency to reduce the effectiveness of this aid. Therefore, I hope that the problem, the essence of which I want to draw attention will be understood by readers without a detailed review of the literature.
