bacteria

24

30
Q

What is the most common cause of gram-negative bacterial pneumonia and who does it most commonly affect?

A

Klebsiella pneumoniae

  • Debilitated and malnourished people, particularly chronic alcoholics
31
Q

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of pneumonia in whom and in what setting?

A
  • -CF and immunocompromised
  • - Hospital-acquired
32
Q

What are the most common cause of PNEUMONIA in NEONATES?

A

Bacterial pneumonias from mom

    1. Group B strep
    1. Gram (-) bacilli/rod
    1. Listerialis
33
Q

how can you differentitate between bacterial and viral pneumonia?

A
  1. Look at the type of inflammtion: bacterial will have intralveolar neutrophillic inflammation; viral will have interstitial lymphocytic inflammation

2. High CRP and procalcitonin => bacterial

3. Onset: bacterial is abrupt; viral is gradual

4. Fever: bacteria has high fever; viral has no

5. Bacteria: lobar infiltrates; viral; diffuse infiltrates

  1. Sounds: bacteria will have crackles d/t parenchyma and viral awill have wheezing bc respiratory involvement
34

  • 1. Strep pneumonia
  • 2. Staph aeures
  • 3. H influenza
  • 4. M. catarrhalis
