Parainfluenza virus
Acute bronchitis etiology
MC = viral & after URI (Adenovirus, influenza, parainfluenza, coronavirus, rhinovirus, coxsackie, RSV)
Bacterial → S. pneumo, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, Mycoplasma
Acute bronchitis tx
Symptomatic = ToC (MC viral)
Fluids, Rest, Antipyretic/pain reliever (acetaminophen)
Productive cough → cough expectorant (Guaifenesin- Mucinex)
Non-productive cough → cough suppressants in adults (Dextromethorphan - Robitussin/DayQuil)
+/- Bronchodilators (Albuterol)
tram track
bronchiectasis
MC cause of bronchiectasis
CF (usu d/t pseudomonas)
bronchiectasis tx
ABXs
Pseudomonas (CF) → Fluoroquinolone, Zosyn, Aminoglycoside, Cephalosporin
Aspergillus → CCS + Itraconazole
MAC → Clarithromycin + Ethambutol
↓ inflammation → Bronchodilators (Beta agonists, Anticholinergics), Inhaled Steroids (Fluticasone)
Improve Bronchial Hygiene → Chest Physiotherapy
Severe/complicated cases → surgery (resection/transplant)
MC site of carcinoid tumors
GI tract
2nd MC =lungs
Carcinoid tumor tx
Definitive = Surg excision (often resis to radiation & chemo)
↓ Sxs/secretion of hormones→ Octreotide
MC chronic cause of Cor pulmonale
MC acute cause
chronic-COPD
acute-PE
Peaked P waves
cor pulmonale
honeycombing and ground glass opacities
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis tx
lung transplant is only cute
somking cessation + corticosteroids for exacerbations
