Q

describe the pathophysiology of bacterial pneumonia

A

acute inflmmatory response leads to water+plasma proteins to lower lung lobes

causes rbcs, fibrin and plymorhonuclear leukocytes to infiltrate alveoli

build up of these is a medium for the spread and proliferation of bacteria

Q

why does lower chloride secretion and higher sodium reabsorption cause thicker mucus

A

water follows solutes, if theres no solutes in the mucus, it’ll leave and the mucus will be less dilute

gamma
omicron

55
Q

what covid test tells us if we are currently infected

decreasing
more effective treatment of other resp illnesses

A

there are no symptoms until the disease progresses

weird stools
malnutrition

A

isoniazid
rfampin

83

spike protein vaccinations that make vaccination less effective

84

digest DNA released by lysed cells

adenovirus
influenza

streptococcus pneumoniae

what is typically the cause of death with COVID 19

A

multi-organ failiure

89
Q

what drugs can help croup

A

corticosteroids to reduce inflammation

90
Q

how does digesting DNA released by lysed cells help CF patients

A

it reduces mucus viscosity

91
Q

what causes barrel chest

A

air trapped in alveoli (pulmonary emphysema)

92
Q

how does active disease with TB occur

A

if a tubercule breaks

93

reduce risk measures for other resp illnesses (asthma, bronchitits)
immunization
antibiotics

do the lungs return to normal between exacerbations in COPD

A

no

99
Q

why does viscous mucus increase risk of infections
