-
10-28-d: Pathogenesis
- Aerosol/droplet: virus (influenza, SARS, varicella, etc), Tb
- Microaspiration: CAP, routine bacterial/ HAP, altered flora
- Macroaspiration: lung abscess, healthcare associated pneumonia
- Reactivation: TB, fungi, granulomatous disease
-
Skin failure of immunity
Staph, strep, pseudomonas
-
Mucociliary clearance failure
- Pneumococcus, haemophilus, then other pathogens, more and more resistance, change in flora of inpatients
- Intubation and direct access
-
Aspiration: Microaspiration
Common bacterial pneumonias, flora depends on the underlying flora of the host
-
Aspiration: Larger volume aspiration
Anaerobic oral flora, lung abscess
-
Neutrophils absence
- GNB including pseudomonas
- The more prolonged and under antibiotic pressure-fungi
- Can’t completely sterilize host
-
Reticulo-endothelial failure
- Splenectomy, cirrhosis, failure of antibody to opsonize, multiple myeloma
- Pneumococcus, H. flu, meningococcus, other encapsulated:
-
T-cell failure
- Transplant immunomodulation, HIV, Lymphoma
- PCI, TB, Fungi, Nocardia, CMV
-
TNF inhibitors
- Rx for Rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
- Granulomatous diseases, especially TB, MOTB, Fungi
-
T-cells
- Antigen presentation, T-cell specific response
- Tuberculosis, fungi, PCJ, Nocardia, CMV
-
B-cell
- Antibody
- Opsonization
- Pneumococcus, Meningococcus, H.flu:
-
Complement
- Early deficiencies: Pneumococcal
- Late deficiencies C6-C9: Meningococcus
- Antimicrobial peptides: common bacteria?
-
Inrtacellular
- Virus, mycoplasma, mycobacteria, coxiella, chlamydophila, legionella, fungi
- Sometimes see a temperature-pulse deficit – pulse will not increase proportionately with temperature
-
Extracellular
S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, S. aureus, GNB
-
Lobar
- Bronchopneumonia in young and old: few lobules in lung segment/a patchier lobar distribution on CXR
- Lobar Pneumonia: many lobules in lung segment/more dense consolidation on CXR
- Classic bacterial pneumonias: s. pneumoniae, H influenzae, M. catarrhalis, gram negative rods, Legionella, S. aureus
-
Interstitial
- Interstitial pneumonias
- Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, viruses, Legionella, PCJ
-
Symptoms
- Lobar pneumonia: cough productive of colored sputum
- Interstitial pneumonia: dry, non-productive cough
