Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a viral or bacterial invasion of lung tissue by pathogens such as
a. S. pneumoniae
b. Haemophilus influenzae
c. Mycoplasma pneumoniae
- Presence of reversible airway obstruction, airway hyperactivity, and airway inflammation
- Triggered by allergens (e.g. pollen, cigarette smoke)
- High-pitched whistling sound (wheezes)
Asthma
Management of pneumonia during labor
O2 administration for fetal oxygenation esp. during contractions
Tx: pneumonia
a. antibiotics
b. oxygen therapy
Three processes:Asthma
- constriction of bronchial smooth muscles
- marked mucosal inflammation and swelling
- production of thick bronchial secretions
- one of the leading causes of death worldwide
- Macrophages and T lymphocytes surround the bacillus but don’t kill it
Tuberculosis
- constriction of airway associated most often with long-term cigarette smoking
