Abstract
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress organised in Madrid, Spain, in 2019 welcomed >22 000 participants from 134 countries. For each ERS assembly, an impressive number of abstracts were submitted. The topics covered by Assembly 10 (Respiratory Infections and Tuberculosis) were included this year in the top five research areas with the most submitted abstracts, with a total of 424 abstracts accepted for presentation. As it would be difficult for any delegate to stay up to date with all the scientific advances in the field, we wanted to highlight three of the Congress sessions that included presentations on respiratory infections and tuberculosis that we deemed as important and we hope the readers will consider this material of great interest.
