Abstract Lung infections continue to represent a major cause of preventable morbidity and mortality across Asian countries, reflecting persistent inequities in environmental conditions, social determinants of health, and health system capacity. The region accounts for a disproportionate share of the global burden of pneumonia and tuberculosis, while recurrent viral respiratory outbreaks continue to challenge public health preparedness, health security, and system resilience. The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered the epidemiology of lung infections, resulting in long-term pulmonary sequelae, disruption of tuberculosis prevention and care services, and a marked increase in opportunistic fungal infections. This article synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiological burden of lung infections in Asia, examines key structural, environmental, and biological determinants, and critically evaluates the post-COVID-19 implications for respiratory health and health systems. In alignment with World Health Organization (WHO) strategies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the article emphasizes the need for integrated respiratory care, strengthened disease surveillance and control programs, and multisectoral policy action to mitigate the long-term burden of lung infections in the region.
