Q

What is the most likely population to aspirate?

A

Institutionalized (nursing home patients) patients are more likely to aspirate

They also have an altered oral flora, which can include many gram negative and anaerobic organisms

Q

What can be used to make a diagnosis of pneumonia?

A

Most Important - Presentation of clinical symptoms and/or the presence of infiltrate on CXR or CT Scan. Blood cultures are also helpful

Less important - sputum culture

Q

What are the characteristics of community-acquired pneumonia?

A

Community-acquired acute pneumonia refers to lung infection in otherwise healthy individuals that is acquired from the normal environment (in contrast to hospital acquired pneumonia). It may be bacterial or viral.

Rarely seen either resolves or progresses to cause lobar pneumonia

Neutrophilic reaction and abundant sputum

RLL is the most common area affected

Q

How could you distinguish between lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia on a histologic slide?

A

If the bronchi were filled with pus, it would be called bronchopneumonia. If it is in the alveoli, it is lobar pneumonia, by definition.

Q

What is the most frequent cause of gram-negative bacterial pneumonia?

A

Klebsiella pneumoniae

20
Q

What population does Klebsiella pneumoniae most often afflict?

A

Debilitated and malnourished people, particularily alcoholics

21
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Klebsiella pneumoniae

Notice the abcess formation

22
Q

What are the important characteristics of legionella pneumophilia?

A

It is an intracellular organism, requiring antimicrobial drugs with good cytoplasmic penetration. Biochemical abnormalities may seem more severe than patient presents. Requires special media to grow

23
Q

What is this an image of? (Hint: Lab studies make this disease worse than the patient is presenting)

A

Legionella CXR - affecting the RUL

24
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Legionella - IF sputum staining

25
Q

What is this an image of and what is the stain?

A

Legionella - Dieterle stain

26
Q

What are some of the complications of pneumonia?

A
27
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Lung that has a hole in it after infection and liquefactive necrosis.

28
Q

Patient has a Staphylococcus aureus infection, and presents with this CXR. What is a common cause that he got it?

A

This is bilateral Staph pneumonia. It is most likely cause by IV drug abuse

29
Q

What is the difference between primary TB and secondary TB?

A
30
Q

What are complications associated with TB?

A
31
Q

What is this an image of?

A

TB - gross finding

Notice - Caseous necrosis and cavitation in advanced TB

32
Q

What is this an image of?

A

CXR of TB - Miliary TB

33
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Interstitial pneumonia - CT Scan

34
Q

What are these images of?

A

Hemorrhagic Tracheobronchitis - Influenza A

35
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Cytomegalovirus - Owl eye inclusion in the nucleus. Immunocompromised host

36
Q

In a patient with pneumocystis jirovecii infection and a normal immune system, how will the infection present?

A

It will tend to be asymptomatic in a patient with normal immune system

37
Q

Who is at risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii infection?

A

HIV patients with <200 CD4 count

38
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Pneumocystis jirovecii

Also know that a BAL can be a good diagnostic test for this

39
Q

What is this an image of?

A

Pneumocystis jirovecii - silver stain

40
Q

What are the different clinical classifications of aspergillosis? *Important

A
41
Q

What is this an image of?

A

This is an aspergilloma - it exists within a previously existing space, most likely an old abcess

42
Q

What is circled in this image?*

A

Aspergilloma - There is no invasion of tissue by the fungus. It respects the boundaries of the previously existing abscess cavity.

43
Q

What is this an image of?*

A

Aspergillus niger

44
Q

What is this an image of and what caused it? *Very important

A

Invasive Aspergillosis that caused a lung infarct -

45
Q

What is this an image of?*

A

Aspergillosis (Blood vessel invasion/thrombosis)

Aspergillus will invade blood vessels, and cause thrombosis and infarction, and those infarcts can occur anywhere in the body, not just the lung
