Review 1 Flashcards
typical pneumonia
acute bacterial pneumonia
community acquired (CAP) or (HCAP)
hours to days
onset with fever and cough
lobar consoliation or segmental bronchopneumonia
pleuritis
micro-aspiration URT colonizing bacteria
MOST OFTERN S. PNEUMONIAE
etiology of CAP
- pneumococcus
- haemophilus (largely disappeared)
- G- like klebsiella
- viral pneumonia usually in children
Atypicial Pneumonia
disseminated, all treated the same although they are different bugs.
M. pneumoniae C. pneumoniae Legionella pneumophilia- water Coxiella burnetti chlamydia psittaci
aspiration pneumonia
stuppor, coma or seizures. FOCAL Oropharyngeal flora CAP: G+s, and up to 20% anaerobes HCAP: G-s like S. aureus
can be complicated by chronic pneumonia with *abscess formation
Atypicial Pneumonia
disseminated, all treated the same although they are different bugs.
M. pneumoniae C. pneumoniae L. pneumophilia- water Coxiella burnetti chlamydia psittaci
aspiration pneumonia
stuppor, coma or seizures. FOCAL Oropharyngeal flora CAP: G+s, and up to 20% anaerobes HCAP:
Hemophilus Flu
G- coccobacillus
Enterics
GNR
Treatment of CAP
beta lactams- strep, staph, klebsie
macrolides: atypicals
treatment of HCAP
resistant staph + GNB
Chronic Pneumonia
Patchy, weeks to months.
No empiric treatment.
requires bronchoscopy or lung biopsy
Chronic Pneumonia
Patchy, weeks to months.
No empiric treatment.
requires bronchoscopy or lung biopsy
Expectorated Sputum
Acceptable if: 25 PMNs
ratio GREATER than 5:1
Expectorated Sputum
Acceptable if: 25 PMNs

Rapid antigen test
point of care testing- only flu and RSV
backup test for negatives
