B4-060 Pulmonary Infection Flashcards
major morphologic patterns in RTIs
3
- intra-alveolar accumulation of neutrophils
- interstitial expansion by mononuclear inflammatory cells
- granulomatous inflammation
phases of acute pneumonia
3
- red hepatization
- gray hepatization
- resolution or organization
- most common cause of lobar pneumonia
- most common cause of CAP pneumonia
s. pneumoniae
most common cause of bronchiopneumonia
S. aureus
- causes a bronchiopneumonia
- most commonly occurs in young children after viral infection or lung damage
H. influenzae
- malaise, fever, SOB, productive cough
- ill appearing, cough, ronchi, wheezing
- dullness, egophany
suppurative pneumonia
interstitial infiltrate of mononuclear cells
interstitial atypical pneumonia
- less productive cough, low grade fever,
- not toxic appearing
- SOB, URI symptoms
- no left shift in WBC
interstitial atypical pneumonia
lymphopenia
cytokine storm
hypercoaguable state
covid
TB and fungal organisms cause
granulomatous pneumonia
outpatient treatment for CAP
no comorbidities/MSRA/pseudomonas
amoxicillin or
doxycycline or
macrolide
treatment
inpatient non severe pneumonia
B lactam + macrolide or
fluoroquinolones
treatment
severe inpatient pneumonia
B lactam + macrolide or
B lactam+ fluroquinolone
greater than 48 hours after hospital admission
HAP
prevention of HAP
- mask ventilation
- head elevated
typical organisms causing lobar pneumonia
3
- S pneumo
- Legionella
- Klebsiella
typical organisms causing bronchopneumonia
4
- S pneumo
- S aureus
- H. flu
- Klebsiella
typical organisms causing atypical pneumonia
4
- mycoplasma
- clamydophilia
- coxiella
- viruses
- intra alveolar exudate leads to consolidation
- may involve entire lobe or whole lung
lobar pneumonia
- acute inflammatory infiltates from bronchioles into adjacent alveoli
- patchy distribution involving more than one lobe
bronchopneumonia
- diffuse patcy infiltration localized to interstitial areas at alveolar walls
- bilateral multifocal opacities on CXR
- follows indolent course
interstitial atypical pneumonia
aspiration of oropharyngeal or gastric contents causing pulmonary infection
aspiration pneumonia
- AMS
- dysphagia
- neurologic disorders
- NG tubes
all are risk factors for…
aspiration pneumonia
- aspiration, anaerobic bacteria
- strep viridans
- mycobacteria
can result in what complication?
abscess
if macrophages are overwhelmed, they recruit […] from pulmonary capillaries
neutrophils
