Normal lung histology Inflammatory Cells lsPneumonia
Pneumonia: Definition • Syndrome • caused by acute infection, usually bacterial (may be non bacterial) • Involving lung parenchyma distal to terminal bronchioles • Characterized by clinical and/or radiographic signs of consolidation of a part or parts of one or both lungs.
Symptoms in Pneumonia • Cough • Fever • Shortness of Breath • Rapid Breathing • Confusion • Restlessness
What are signs of Pneumonia • General Inspection • Respiratory Inspection • Palpation • Percussion • Auscultation
Clinical Signs in Pneumonia • Fever • Tachycardia • Rapid Respiratory • Cyanosis in Severe cases • Signs of consolidation • Reduced movement • Dull Percussion sound • Bronchial Breathing and Crackles • My be signs of Pleurisy/ Pleural Effusion
Radiological Signs of Pneumonia What is the Hall Mark ?
Radiological Signs of Pneumonia What is the Hall Mark ? CONSOLIDATION AIRBRONCHOGRAM
Classification of Pneumonias ??????
Classification of Pneumonia • According to Etiology • According to anatomical site • According to Clinical Settings
Classification of Pneumonia • According to Etiological agent
Classification of Pneumonia • According to Aetiological agent • Bacterial Pneumonia • Viral Pneumonia • Bacteria like & Ricketsial Pneumonia • Fungal Pneumonias • Parasitic Pneumonia • Chemical Pneumonia (lipoid pneumonia) • Physical Pneumonia (ionizing radiation)
Classification of Pneumonia • According to anatomical site • Lobar • Segmental • Sub-segmental • Lobular/ Bronchopneumonia/ Diffuse Pneumonia
Classification of Pneumonia • According to Clinical Setting • Community acquired Pneumonia ( CAP) • Hospital acquired/Health care associated Pneumonia • Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Aspiration Pneumonia • Hypostatic Pneumonia • Pneumonia in immunocompromised host
“Community Acquired Pneumonia” Can U define ?
Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Pneumonia that begins outside hospital or is diagnosed within 48 hours of admission in hospital in a patient who has not been hospitalized or residing in a long- term care facility for 14 days or more before the onset of symptoms
AETIOLOGY • No cause found in 40-60% of cases • In more than 20% cases, more than one organism • Bacteria are more commonly identified than viruses • Commonest Organisms • Streptpneumonaie • Mycoplasma • H influenza • Chlamydophillapneumonaie • MRSA • Respiratory Viruses
Which lobe is involved • What is the organism
60 years old woman is brought to hospital in confusional state. She is febrile and short of breath. On auscultation there are few crackles in the mid zone bilaterally. She is anaemic. WBC count is 6X109. • Her chest x-ray is :
RISK FACTORS FOR PNEUMONIA • COPD • Pulmonary Oedema • Altered consciousness • Recent Viral respiratory tract infection • Cigarette smoking • Alcohol • Bronchiectasis • Bronchial obstruction • Immunosupression • Intravenous drug abuse
How the organism reaches Lung ? • Inhalation of micro-organism • Aspiration of gastric content • Spread from contagious site • Hematological spread from distant site
INVESTIGATIONS • Blood Complete picture • Chest X Ray • Sputum Gram stain ? • Sputum Culture • Blood cultures • Urea, creatinine, electrolytes • Serological studies • Arterial blood gases (ABGs) in severe cases • Thoracocentesis if effusion is present
Serological tests • Pneumococcal antigen • Latex test on urine, sputum & serum • Mycoplasma antibodies (IgM & IgG) • Cold agglutinin in 50% cases • Legionella antibodies • Immunoflorescence test
MANAGEMENT OF PNEUMONIA Doctor should assess severity of the Pneumonia and should decide whether patient can be treated at home or in hospital
When to admit ? • Age > 65 y • Comorbid condition • Abnormal vital signs • RR >30 • BP < 90/60 • Temp > 101 • Altered mental status • Sepsis/ multiorgan dysfunction • Abnormal Lab findings • TLC < 4000 or > 30000 • Po2 ,60 PCO2 > 50 • Multi-lobe involvement or pleural effusion
Confusion Urea level (>19 mmol/L) Respiratory rate (>30 b/m) Blood Pressure SBP<90 mmHg or DBP <60 mmHg Age >65 yrs Excellent indicator for mortality
General Measures • Care of mouth and skin • Fluids • Cough Suppressants • Analgesics for pain • Antipyretics for fever • Oxygen
