Infectious Disease Flashcards
Risk factors for CAP?
Population with highest prevalence?
- COPD, chronic bronchitis, CV disease, DM
- Smokers (invasive pneumococcal infections)
- Alcoholism, neurologic disease (aspiration )
# Most common in elderly
# 60% of hospitalizations are in pts >65
CAP pathogens?
- Strep pneumo most common (also most frequent cause of bacteremic PNA from community)
- H flu, Moraxella
- GNR less common (enterics in chronic liver disease, alcoholism)
- Klebsiella = alcoholism
- Pseudomonas = structural lung disease, chronic steroids
- Staph aureus = think if CAP follows influenza, cavitary PNA, IVDU, recent MRSA skin/soft tissue infection
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens in alcoholism?
Strep pneumo, oral anaerobes, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, M. tuberculosis
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens in COPD +/- smoking?

CAP: commonly encountered pathogens after exposure to birds
Chlamydophila psittaci
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens after exposure to rabbits?
Francisella tularensis
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens after exposure to farm animals or parturient (about to give birth) cats?
Coxiella burnetii
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens after exposure to rodent excreta?
Hantavirus
CAP: commonly encountered pathogens in early HIV infection? Late HIV infection?
# Strep pneumo, H flu, M tuberculosis # Same as above plus Pneumocystis jirovecii, Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Aspergillus, atypical mycobacteria (esp Mycobacterium kansasii), P aeruginosa
