lower respiratory infections part 2 Flashcards
(104 cards)
1
Q
what is the most common infectious cause of disease in the world
A
pneumonia
2
Q
what is the definition of pneumonia
A
Pneumonia is defined as inflammation of the lung parenchyma which leads to consolidation of the affected part and a filling of the alveolar air spaces with exudate, inflammatory cells, and fibrin
3
Q
what are the MCC of pneumonia
A
bacteria or viruses
4
Q
what are other causes of pneumonia
A
inhalation of chemical
trauma to chest wall
infection by other agents
5
Q
what is the pathophysiology of pneumonia
A
- infection of lung
- inflammatory response initiated
- alveolar edema + exudate formation
- alevoli & resp bronchioles fill w serous exudate, blood cells, fibrin and bacteria.
- consolidation of lung tissue
6
Q
what 5 pathogens are more commonly found in health care acquired pneumonia
A
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA)
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Serratia marcescens
- Acinetobacter baumannii
7
Q
How is pneumonia classified
A
- anatomic location
- mechanism of acquisition
- setting of acquisition
8
Q
what is included in anatomic location
A
where in the lungs is it?
9
Q
what is mechanism of acquisition
A
how did they get it? aspiration or ventilator associated
10
Q
what is setting of acquisition

is it community acquired or nosocomial
11
Q
what is a lobar pneumonia
A
acute exudative inflammation of an ENTIRE pulmonary lobe
12
Q
what is the MCC of lobar pneumonia
A
Strep (95%)
13
Q
what lobe is S. pneumo classically found in
A
RLL
this is because its location to the right main bronchus. therefore it is the most common

A
upper lobes
(patients dirnk and then pass out prone… leading to upper lobe pnx)
15
Q
where does legionella tend to occur

Frequently lead to abscesses, cavitation, necrosis and pleural effusions
20
Q
what are classifications of interstitial pneumonia
A
focal
diffuse
21
Q
what does interstitial pneumonia result from

what is this
she said you could argue bronchopneumonia but the ground glass appearance suggests more interstitial pneumonia
