Body’s Defenses to CAP
Anatomy:
Nose / Throat / Nasal Hair
MuscoCiliary System:
Mucous / Cilia / pH
COUGH + GAG reflex + Stomach Acid
Humoral Mechanisms:
IG’s / TNF / IL’s / Complement
Cellular Mechanisms:
Alveolar Macrophages / PML’s
Diagnosis of CAP
Determines if hospital or not:
CURB-65 or PSI (port Severity Index)
Sputum Culture
technique & timeliness is important
>25 WBC & <10 Epi’s
CHEST X-RAY
Blood Cultures / CBC +diff / Chemistry
Thoracentesis / Pathogen specific test
Why do Pneumonias Occur?
Impaired Body Defenses
Virulent organisms or excess inoculum
overwhelms body defenses
Colonization of URI
HEMAtogenous spread = Staph Aureus
Microorganisms gain access as follows:
- *Aerosolized particles** = TB
- *Hematogenous / Aspiration**
