39
Q

How do you diagnose nosocomial pneumonia?

A

blood cultures, CBC, CMP, ABG for severity

thoracentesis w/ pleural fluid analysis

LRI culture to direct therapy

CXR often nonspecific

40
Q

How is treatment based upon in nosocomial pneumonia?

A

empiric with
- risk of MRSA, MDR, psuedomonas, other g- bacilli
- drug resistance
- local antibiograms
- mortality risk
~ 7 days

41
Q

What type of pneumonia is considered walking pneumonia and can worsen asthma symptoms, produce wheezing, have a gradual onset, and a variety of other sick symptoms like headache, malaise, fever, sore throat with a cough that follows w/ pleuritic CP or SOB?

A

mycoplasma pneumonia

42
Q

When does mycoplasma pneumoniae peak?

A

summer and late fall

43
Q

How do you diagnose mycoplasma pneumonia?

A

rales and wheezing later on, mild hepatic transaminitis may occur

CXR: reticulonodular opacities or patchy consolidations

Diagnosis cannot be made without testing

44
Q

How do you treat mycoplasma pneumonia?

A

self-limiting so usually doesn’t require treatment but if you want some,

macrolide (azithro), doxycycline, levofloxacin

47
Q

How can you diagnose legionella pneumonia?

A

sputum PCR, culture, dieterle silver staining, urinary antigen testing

What’s the leading cause of hospitilization in children?

A

bronchiolitis and pneumonia

58
Q

When can you make an RSV/acute bronchiolitis diagnosis in infant/child?

A

1-3d of URI followed by cough + tachypnea +/- chest retractions + wheeze +/- crackles on auscultation

RT-PCR w/ nasal swab

time! respiratory isolation, tube feeding or IV nutrition

support

high risk = aerosolized ribavirin
