lung path II Flashcards
PE
10% of acute hospital deaths
underdiagnosed
elevated LDH
PHTN
abnormal when pressurs reaches 1/4 of systemic
pulmonary arterial HTN
primary idiopathic arterial HTN
autoimmune CT disorder
drugs
idopathic primary pulmonary HTN
adults mostly females 20-40
rare familiar primary PHTN
autosomal dominant with only 10-20%
mutation in BMPR2
in vascular smooth m cells BMPR2 inhibits proliferation and favors apoptosis
mutation inactivated inhibition
secondary PHTN
endothelium dysfunction and normal reduction of pulmonary aa to increased pressure
diffuse alveolar hemorrhage syndrome
goodpasture syndrome
idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
vasculitis (wegners, hypersensativity pneumonitis, SLE)
goodpastures
autoimmune, anti-basement membrane Abs
alpha 3 chain of collagen IV
proliferative rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
necortizing hemorrhagic interstitial pneumonitits
M>F, young smokers
renal failure usually COD
idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
rare condition usually in children
episodes of diffuse hemorrhage
no antivascular Abs have been found, but immunosupression works
diffuse hemosiderin deposistion in macrophages and alveolar walls
symptoms of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
productive cough, hemoptysis, anemia, weight loss
polyangitis w/granulomatosis
necrotizing granulomatous arteritis of lungs and URT
necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis
hard to diagnose
M>F 5th decade
immunoRx
variable prognosis
cytoplasmic pattern anti-neutrophil Abs (PR3/c-ANCA)
nasopharynx defenses
nasal hair
turbinates
mucociliary apparatus
IgA
oropharynx defenses
saliva
sloughing of epi
local complement production
interference from resident flora
trachea and bronchi defenses
cough, epiglottic reflexes
sharp angled branching of airways
mucocilliary apparatus
IgM, IgG, IgA
lower respiratory tract defenses
alveolar lining fluid cytokines alveolar macros polymorphonuclear leukocytes cell-mediated immunity
community acquired acute penumonia
alveolar exudates strep pneumoniae H. influenza M. catarrhalis Staph aureus legionella penumophilia enterbacteriaceae
strep pneumonaie
community acquired
G+ diplococci
most common
increased risk w/splenectomy/sickle cell -> need vaccine
H. influenza
community acquired also meningitis and pink eye G- pleomorphic vaccine for encapsulated form #1 in COPD
M. catarrhalis
community acquired
G- diplococci
#2 in COPD
Staph aureus
community acquired
G+ cocci
common in post viral pneumonia w/IVDA
legionella pneumophilia
community acquired
gram - rod
macrophages in small bronchioles
legionellas disease and pontiac fever
enterobacteriaceae
community acquired
klebsiella pneumoniae
pseudomonas aerginosa
klebsiella pneumoniae
community acquired
Gram - rod
seen in debilitated/malnourished (alcoholics) with bloody thick sputum
pseudomonas aeruginosa
community acquired
gram neg coccobacilli
CF and neutropenia
angioinvasive
