pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptible hosts

A

underlying disease

22

virus pneumonia main organisms

A

infuenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus

23
Q

influenza pneumonia susceptible hosts

A

elderly, nursing home, children

24
Q

influenza pneumonia risk it has

A

bacterial superinfection (ex. S.aureus after the infection)

25
Q

influenza pneumonia: what pattern of infection

A

interstitial

26
Q

aspiration pneumonia what type of organism

A

virus

27
Q

aspiration pneumonia: who at risk + characteristics

A

elderly, poor mental status. gram negative anaerobes

28
Q

what to look at in diagnosis of pneumonia

A

make sure have pneumonia, risk factors, cause of pneumonia

29
Q

what to look at in assessment of pneumonia

A

how sick they are, complications

30
Q

how to manage pneumonia

A

need to be admitted?
treatment?
complications need treatment?

31
Q

symptoms of pneumonia

A

cough, fever, dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, atypical symptoms

32
Q

physical signs of pneumonia

A

tachypnea, hypoxemia, cyanosis, accessory resp muscles

33
Q

CXR use in pneumonia

A

find type of infection (ID organism) + severity

34
Q

what organisms cause interstitial pneumonia

A

mycoplasma pneumonia, influenza

35
Q

what organisms cause lobar pneumonia

A

streptococcus pneumonia

36
Q

what organisms cause bronchopneumonia

A

staphylococcus aureus

37
Q

criteria to make us thing it’s pneumonia rather than bronchitis

A

short lived, viral symptoms (sneezing, sore throat), fever

38
Q

risk factors for pneumonia

A

age, viral infections, comorbidities, abnormal host defense (cilia)

39
Q

community acquired pneumonias and age groups affected

A
  • respiratory viruses (children and young adults)
  • atypicals (mycoplasma) (young adults)
  • strept. (elderly)
40
Q

nocosomial pneumonias

A
  • strept.
  • influenza
  • staph and pseudomonas
41
Q

pleural fluid analysis helps find what

A

inflammation if find pus, pH for complicated or not

42
Q

antibiotic treatment of pneumonia principle

A

try to target for the microorganism involved

43
Q

gram - organisms found where

A

in hospital so can figure that if hospital acquired (s.aureus (is positive …), pseudomonas)

44
Q

important in management of pneumonia

A

prompt treatment and follow up for treatment response is very important
