Pneumonia Flashcards
Classification , types of pneumonia 3
Community acquired (typical and atypical)
Hospital acquired (nosocomial)pneumonia
Pneumonia in the immunocompromised
main deference between atypical and typical pneumonia ?
Having leukocytosis and heavy productive cough and respond to b lactm drugs in typical while atypical don’t
Typical community acquired pneumonia symptoms ?
Cough productive (BLOODY RUST COLOR ), sudden onset of fever عكس الثاني
pleuritic chest pain ( pain when breathing )
shortness of breath
Rales or bronchial sounds
Leukocytosis
repond to beta lactm
causative organism for Typical community acquired pneumonia 2
Streptococcus pneumonia , hemophilus influenzae (ALL BACTERIAL WIT HCELL WALL )
Atypical community acquired pneumonia symptoms ? 4
More gradual onset of cough + less productive
Lobar consolidation
absent leukocytosis
no response to beta lactm
causative organism for Atypical community acquired pneumonia and what special about them 4
Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Chlamydia pneumoniae
legionella
viruses
THEY DONT HAVE CELL WALL
How dose chronic pneumonia present
Cough >2 to 3 week + one additional symptoms
Like : fever , night sweats , weight loss , hemoptysis ( cough of blood )
Organisms that cause chronic pneumonia 4
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
histoplasma
coccidioides
blastomyces
Describe the morphology of streptococcus pneumoniae
G positive. cocci ,lancet shape, chains and pairs (diplococci )
WATCH PICTUE IN THE FILE BI
capsulated
Describe the morphology of Hemophilus type B
gram negative pleomorphic , bacilli/coccbacilli
capsulated
cultural characteristic of streptococcus Pneumoniae
Catalase negative watch picture
Alpha hemolytic in blood agar
virulence factors of streptococcus pneumonia
Capsule is key variulacne factor cause of its anti-phagocytic
slgA protases
pneumolysin ( cytotoxic )
virulence factors of Hemophilus type B
Pili – allow adherence to mucosal epithelial cells;
colonization of pharynx.
IgA protease
Capsular strains – Capsule has antiphagocytic PRP CAPSULE
