Diagnose CAP-want bc empiric tratment better for specific , also public safety implications
Chest radiography (need sensitivity and specificity not perfect from PE)
- CT for postobstructive PNA or suspected cavitary disease
- some radiographically patterns suggest an etiology (pneumatoceles suggest s aureus)
Sputum samples must have WBC>25 and <10 squamous epithelial cells per high-power field to be appropriate for culture. The sensitivity of sputum cultures is highly variable; in cases of proven bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, the yield of positive cultures form sputum samples<50%
Blood cultures are positive in 5-14% of cases, most commonly yielding s pneumoniae. Blood cultures are optional for most CAP pots but should performed for high risk pts (pts with chronic liver disease or asplenia)
Urine antigen tests for S pneumiae and legionella pneumophila type 1 can be helpful
PCR of nasopharyngeal swabs has become the standard for diagnosis of respiratory viral infection and is also useful for detection of many atypical bacteria
Serology: a fourfold rise in titer of specific IgM antibody can assist in diagnosis of pneumonia due to some pathogens; however, the time required to obtain a final result makes serology of limited clincial utility
What are the two sets of criteria that identify pts who will benefit from hostpail care
Pneumonia severity index
CURB-65
Complications CAP
Respiratory failure, shock, multiorgan failure, coagulopathy, and exacerbation of comorbid disease. Metastatic infection occurs rarely and requires immediate attention

Risk factors for active TB
Recent acquisition, comobidity (HIV..), malnutrition, tobacco smoking, and presence of fibrotic lesions
Pathogenesis T
AFB that reach alveoli are ingested by macrophages. The bacilli impair phagosome maturation, multipl, lyse the macrophages, and spread to regional lymph nodes, reform which they may disseminate thought the body. Thesis initial stages of infection are generally asymptomatic and induce cellular and humoral immunity
2-4 weeks after Tb infection
A tissue damaging response resulting from delayed hypersensitivity destroys nonactivated macrophages that contain multiplying bacilli, and a macrophage activating response activates cells capable of killing AFB. A granuloma forms at the site of the primary lesion and at sites of dissemination. The lesions can then either heal by fibrosis or undergo further evolution. Despite helping, viable bacilli can remain dormant within macrophages or in necrotic material for years

HIV associated TB
Partial Cell mediated compromised-typical upper lobe
Late HIV-diffuse interstitial or Millard infiltrate
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome
1-3 mo after initiation antiretroviral, may exacerbate TB
Diagnose TB
AFB microscopy stained with Ziehl Neelsen basic fuchsin dyes of fluoresce microscopy of samples stained with auramine rhidamine-can provide a presumptive diagnosis in TB , two or three sputum samples need
Definitive diagnosis
Grow M Tb in culture or identification or the organisms DNA in clinical samples
-liquid media and speciation by molecular methods have decreased the time required for diagnostic confirmation 2-3 weeks
Nucleus acid amplification in AFB pos and neg
TST
Limited value active disease but mist widely used screening test for latent
Interferon gamma release assays
Measure the release of interferon gamma by T cells after stimulation with TB specific antigens and more specific for M Tb that TST
Prevent T
Vaccination
Treat latent infection
Tuberculin reaction size >5
HIV infected, recent contacts of a patient with TB , organ transplant recipients, persons with fibrotic lesions consistent with old TB on chest radiography, immunocompromised, persons with high risk medical conditions
Tuberculin reaction size >10 mm
Recent immigrants from high prevalence coutnries, injection drug users, mycobacteriology laboratory personnel; residents and employees of high risk congregate settings, children under 5, low risk
Leprosy
Nonfatal chronic infectious disease from m leprae, an obligate intracellular bacterial species indistinguishable microscopically from other mycobacteria. In humans, armadillos, and sphagnum moss
Can you culture M leprae
Not in vitro, has a doubling time in mice of 2 weeks
What is leprosy associated with
Poverty and rural residence, is a disease of developing world; its global prevalence is difficulty to assess and is variously estimated at .6-8 million
-400 in america
Transmission leprosy
Nasal drops maybe
Clinical leprosy
Polar tuberculoid to polar lepromatous disease is associated with an evolution from asymmetric localized Manuel’s and plaques to nodular and infuriated symmetric generalized skin manifestations, an increasing bacterial loss and loss of M leprae-specific cellular immunity.
Incubacliniincubation leprosy
2-40 years, usually 5-7
Tuberculoid leprosy
At the less severe end of the disease spectrum, TT leprosy results in symptoms confined to the skin and peripheral nerves ,
- one or several hypopigmented macules or plaques with sharp margins that are hypesthetic and have lost sweat glands and hair follicles are present. AFB are few or absent
- there is asymmetric enlargement of one or several peripheral nerves-most often the ulnar, posterior auricular, peroneal and posterior tibial nerves-associated with hypesthesia and myopathy
LL leprosy
Pts develop symmetrically distributed skin nodules, raised plaques and diffuse dermal infiltration that can cause leonine fancies, loss of eyebrows and lashes, pendulous earlobes and dry scaling
- numerous bacilli are present in skin, nerves, and all organs except the lungs and CNE
- nerve enlargement and damage are usually symmetric and due to bacillary invasions
Complications leprosy
Reactional states-immune mediated inflammatory states(can be deadly)
-erythema nodosum -painful erythematous papules that resolve spontaneously in 1 week
Extremities-neuropathy (insensitive to stuff, and LOSE distal digits as result),
Eyes-CN palsies, legophthalmos and corneal insensitivity may complicate …blindness
Nerve abscess-urgent surgery
Diagnosis TT
Biopsy, even in normal skin
Others not good
What are nontuberculous mycobacteria
Mycobacteria not Tb or leprosy
Miepidemiology NTM
Cause disease in humans only rarely unless some aspect of host defense impaired
Mainly M kansasii, MAC M abscesses
Clincial manifestations NTM
Broad
Dieesminated
Pulmonary disease
Isolated cervical lymphadenopathy
Skin and ST
Disseminated NTM
Rare, HIV, spread from bowel to the bone marrow and bloodstream, but disease is indolent, and it can take weeks or months for the pt to present for medical attention with malaise, fever, weight loss, organometallic, and lymphadenopathy, >3 organ systems should be evaluated for interferon y pathway defect
Pulmonary NTM
Industrialized
MAC in North America
Present with months or years of throat clearing, nagging cough, and slowly progressice fatigue. M kanassii can cause a TB like syndrome with hemoptysis, chest pain and cavitary lung disease
Isolated cervical lymphadenopathy NTM
Most common in kids in NA, MAC
Nods typically firm and painless and develop in absence of systemic symptoms
Skin ST NTM
Requires break in skin for introduction of organisms. Different NTM associated with exposures
M fortuitous
Lined to pedicure bath-skin abrasions has imediatde pedicure (like if shaved legs before pedicure)
M marinum
Acquires from fish tanks
M ulverans
Waterborne tropical and africa
Diagnose NTM
Acid fast or fluorocarbons smears of clincial samples and cultured on mycobacteria medium. Isolation of NTM from a clincial specimen may reflect colonization and requires an assessment of the organisms clincial significance
Isolation of NTM from blood specimens is clear evidence of disease; many NTM species require special media and not grown on blood culture medium
MAC
Two of three sputum samples, a positive lovage, or a pulmonary parenchyma biopsy with granulomatous inflammation or mycobacteria found on section and NTM in culture.
Antibiotic NTM
Clarromycin, MAC
Kansassi-rifampin
MAC
Macrolides bc MDR
Kansassi
Isoniazid.

Medication induced pulmonary HTN
Fen-phen, the weight loss drug that suppresses appetites
Releases serotonin
Fatigue dizzy, SOB, primary pulmonary HTN, idiopathic pulmonary arterial HTN, heart valve disease, HF
Causes pulmonary HTN and heart disease
.smoker, normal vitals, but low O2 sat. , bibasilar inspiratory crackles. No wheeze or prolongation of the expirations phase, no neck vein distention. S4
