Q

Atypical (walking) Pneumonia usually affects who and what symptoms predominate?

A

Teenagers and young adults

= Systemic symptoms predominate

26
Q

What will be seen on CXR with Atypical (walking) Pneumonia?

A

Patchy infiltrates

27
Q

What 2 bacteria can cause Atypical Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia?

A

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae

Legionella Pneumophila

28
Q

What 2 bacteria can cause Atypical Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia?

A

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae

Legionella Pneumophila

29
Q

What is unique about Mycoplasma Pneumoniae?

A

NO cell wall and smallest free living and self replicating microorganism

30
Q

How is Legionella Pneumophila spread and what type of bacteria is it?

A

Airborne disease

- Gram (-) bacilli

31
Q

Where does Legionella Pneumophila grow?

A

Warm freshwater - AC units, hot tubs, misters

32
Q

Slower onset, systemic symptoms and patchy infiltrates

A

Atypical (walking) Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia

– Mycoplasma or legionella

33
Q

Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia will show cells where histologically?

A

IN INTERSTITIUM

34
Q

Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia is more likely to show what distribution on CXR?

A

Multi-lobar – diffuse

35
Q

What are the 4 most common causes of Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia?

A

Influenza virus
SARS
COVID-19
Respiratory Syncytial Virus

36
Q

What 2 proteins classify Influenza virus?

A

Hemagluttinin

Neuraminidase

37
Q

Action of Hemagluttinin protein with the Influenza Virus?

A

Attaches to the host cells

38
Q

Action of Neuraminidase protein with the Influenza Virus?

A

Cleaves Hemagluttinin tether and allows release of replicated virus to go infect other cells

39
Q

What drug (-) Neuraminidase?

A

Oseltamivir (tamiflu)

40
Q

Describe how Influenza Virus replicates

A
  • Attaches to cell via Hemagluttinin
  • Enters cell via endocytosis
  • Viral RNA is replicated in the nucleus
  • mRNA is used to make viral proteins
  • Neuraminidase cleaves and allows release of virus
41
Q

Symptoms of Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia caused by Influenza virus?

A

Abrupt onset and fever for a few days

Aches, chills, fatigue, headache

42
Q

Influenza virus shows Antigenic Drift and Shift. What is Antigenic Drift?

A

Minor changes to proteins on the virus
= Increases spread
– still similar enough to original virus to allow for some immunity in people

43
Q

Influenza virus shows Antigenic Drift and Shift. What is Antigenic Shift?

A

Genomic alterations with major changes in hemagluttinin and neuraminidase
– naive immunity for almost all people

44
Q

Which type of Antigenic movement causes epidemics and which causes pandemics with the Influenza virus?

A

Epidemics - Antigenic Drift

Pandemics - Antigenic Shift

45
Q

What virus is responsible for SARS?

A

(severe acute respiratory syndrome)

- coronavirus

46
Q

What type of virus is COVID-19?

A

(+) ss-RNA = most direct route to viral proteins

47
Q

What receptors does COVID-19 affect?

A

ACE in the lung and gut

48
Q

Once COVID-19 binds the ACE receptors, what will occur?

A
  • Cytokine storm –> ARDS

- Coagulation and inflammation

49
Q

What cells will enter circulation and cause more coagulation and thrombi formation with COVID-19?

A

Megakaryocytes

50
Q

What will be seen on autopsy of COVID-19?

A

Congested lungs, hyperemia, pleurisy

and Thrombi Formation!

51
Q

What do COVID-19 patients usually expire from, therefore what will be seen histologically with the cells?

A

Superimposed bacterial pneumonia

= Cells in the alveolar spaces and in interstitium

52
Q

What is a common cause of Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia in children older than 1 month old?

A

Respiratory Syncytial Virus

53
Q

What type of virus is and what does replication of that virus result in with Respiratory Syncytial Virus?

A

Paramyxovirus

= Epithelial cell sloughing, inflammation, mucus secretion and impaired ciliary action

What are the symptoms in children of Community Acquired Viral Pneumonia caused by RSV?

A
  • Rhinorrhea
  • Cough and wheeze
  • Dyspnea/Tachypnea
