Q

treatment for Klebsiella pneumonia

A

antibiotics (resistance is seen so do an antibiotic susceptibility test)

22
Q

treatment for Walking pneumonia

A

antibiotics (not those that target cell wall like penicillin)

23
Q

prevention for Pneumococcal pneumonia

A

vaccine
capsular vaccine for adults
conjugate vaccine for kids due to weak t-independent response so capsule+protein is given

24
Q

prevention for Klebsiella pneumonia

A

no vaccine

25
prevention for Walking pneumonia
no vaccine
