diseases of the trachea, lungs
what is an example of an acute upper respiratory disease? lower?
- rhinitis, sinutitis, pharyngitis, influenza
- acute bronchitis, pneumonia
what is an example of a chronic upper respiratory disease? lower?
- allergic rhinitis
- TB, asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis
what are the modes of transmission of upper respiratory diseases
- inhalation of airborne droplets
- indirectly contaminated hands or articles freshly soiled with discharge
what is acute bronchitis
an acute respiratory infection that involves large airways (trachea, bronchi)
what is the primary symptom of acute bronchitis
cough with or without phlegm, may last up to 3 weeks
what is pneumonia
an infections and subsequent inflammation of the lungs, caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, or parasites (respiratory tract of healthy person is able to defend)
what is the etiology of pneumonia
viral and bacterial and fungal
what is the most common cause of pneumonia
fungal
pneumocystits pneumonia (PCP)
pneumocystitis jirovecii
what is a community aquired pneumonia
-occurs in any individual in the community, person to person tranmission
what is a healthcare associated pneumonia (nosocomial)
- occurs 48-72 hrs after admission to healthcare facility
- main cause of death in hosp pts
- bacteria in perio pockets may serve as a resivoir for lung infection
what is nursing home acquired pneumonia caused by
- due to dysphagia from a decrease in saliva, cough reflex or swallowing disorders, aspiration of saliva
what is a hospital aquired pneumonia caused by
ventilator associated: no ability to clear oral secretions by swallowing of coughing
non ventilator- biofilm forms of endotrach tubes
what is medical management of pneumonia
bacteria: antibiotic
virus: bed rest and fluids
fungal: sulfa drugs
what are the symptoms and signs of viral pneumonia
- mild symptoms
- cough, sputum
- mild fever
- dyspnea
what are the signs and symptoms of bacterial pneumonia
- sudden onset
- cough, purulent
- high fever
- dyspnea
- pleuritic chest pain
what is tuberculosis
chronic infectious and communicable disease with world wide public health significance as a cause of disability and death
what groups have a high risk of contracting TB
- close contact w/ people w/TB
- reside and work in institutional settings
- from countries that have a high TB incidence
- provide medical or dental care for any of the high risk groups
what is the etiology of TB
mycobacterium tuberculosis
what is the transmission of TB
- travel in airborne droplet nucei in saliva or mucus
- inhalation
where does the local TB infection begin
lung alveoli
where does the TB survive best
high oxygen tension, such as the lungs
what are the 2 tests to determine exposure to TB
-Tuberculin skin test (mantoux test, PPD)
-interferon gamma release assay
blood test
When a test to determine TB exposure are positive what is done
- chest xray
- physical exam
- preliminary diagnosis, sputum exam
- definitive diagnosis: when seen in sputum, is is not confirmed but suspected, it must be grown in lab to confirm
what are oral manifestations of TB
mucosal leison, painful deep, irregular ulcer on dorsum of tongue, leisons can also occur on palate, lips, buccal mucosa, gingiva, glandular swellings
what things do we do to implement infection control measures in dental hygiene care with TB
- update med history
- recognize signs, symptoms of tb
- follow CDC guidelines
- update written protocol
do you treat a pt with active tb
no
