respiratory 4; lower respiratory tract infections Flashcards
influenza that came from warm standing water
legionella
test for TB
PPD skin test
bacterial pneumonia
productive cough high fever elevated WBC infiltrates xray more severe antibiotics needed
causes cell mediated immune response
forms ghon’s focus (necrosing granulomas)
mycobacterium tuberculosis
respiratory syncytial virus
RSV
bronchiolitis
delayed cell-mediated hypersensitivity
type 4 immune response
blastomycosis
fungal pneumonia from south central and northwestern soil along rivers
antibiotics dont work
antifungals needed
complication from flu
infectious pneumonia
wbc circle TB and it becomes latent and cannot spread
secondary exposure can activate it again or if one becomes immunocompromised through trauma
latent still needs to be treated
immunocompetent
active tuberculosis sx
productive cough
high fever
fatigue
can come from first exopsure
caused from mycobacterium tuberculosis (organisms)
tuberculosis
productive cough
high fever
fatigue
can come from first exposure
active tuberculosis
immunocompetent
wbc circle TB and it becomes latent and cannot spread, but secondary exposure can activated it again or if one becomes immunocompromised through trauma
latent still needs to be treated
infectious
noninfectious
hospital acquired
legionella
types of pneumonias
productive cough =
wet cough
fungal pneumonia from south central and northwestern soil along rivers
blastomycosis
types of pneumonias
infectious
noninfectious
hospital acquired
legionella
RSV
respiratory syncytial virus
immunocompromised
likely to get TB from first exposure
weak immune system (maybe with HIV)
