49. 1. Community-acquired acute pneumonia a) bacterial in origin i) usually follows viral upper respiratory infection ii) Streptococcus pneumoniae (i.e., pneumococcus) most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia b) patients present with abrupt: i) high fever ii) shaking chills iii) productive cough (mucopurulent) iv) pleuritic chest pain www.freelivedoctor.com

51. d) Other organisms commonly implicated in community-acquired pneumonia i) Hemophilus influenza - most common bacteria cause of acute exacerbation of COPD - is a pediatric emergency with high mortality rate 1. Causes meningitis 2. Pinkeye in children - ciliary movement - destroys IgA; main class of antibody secreted into airways www.freelivedoctor.com
52. ii) Staph aureus - high incidence of complications (empyema and lung abscess) - important in nosocomial infections - important cause of secondary bacterial pneumonia following viral respiratory illness 1. Measels 2. Influenza - IV drug users at high risk www.freelivedoctor.com
53. iii) Klebsiella pneumonia - most frequent cause of gram (-) bacterial pneumonia - commonly associated with alcoholism 1. debilitated 2. malnourished - only other organism which causes lobar pneumonia - accounts for only ~ 1 % of all CAP www.freelivedoctor.com
54. iv) Legionella pneumophila - flourishes in artificial aquatic environments such as AC, water towers, water tubing for drinking, water, etc. - common in people with predisposing condition (heart, renal, immunologic, blood) - organ transplant patients risk v) Moraxella catarrhalis (in elderly) - 1 of the 3 (i.e., S. pneumoniae, H. influenza) most common causes of otitis media in children www.freelivedoctor.com
55. e) S. pneumoniae normal inhabitant of nasopharynx - - false positive cultures i) blood cultures more reliable - resistant strains to penicillin - sensitivity test OTHER a) Chlamydia psittaci i) causes Psittacosis ii) inhaled in dust contaminated with excreta from birds, usually parrots ! iii) other pets as well b) Pontiac fever (mainly febrile illness; Legionella sp.; www.freelivedoctor.com
56.
57. 2. Community-acquired atypical pneumonias (mycoplasma + viruses) a) most common organisms is mycoplasma pneumoniae (others include viruses, chlamydiae and rickettsiae) b) sputum production, WBC modest increase, bacteria and influenza A viruses not found c) Chlamydia pneumonia increasing prevalence and important cause of this type pneumonia www.freelivedoctor.com
58. d) Can produce some alveolar fluid accumulation, thus minimizing bacterial pneumoniae e) secondary bacterial infections f) mycoplasma infections common in children and young adults i ) sporadic outbreaks in close communities (schools, military camps, prisons) g) viral infections of lower respiratory tract – influenza A and B i) most common in adults h ) adenovirus pneumoniae i) common in young army recruits www.freelivedoctor.com

60. 3. Nosocomial pneumonia a) pseudomonas sp. Most common gram (-) rods (also Enterobacteriaceia) i) gram(+) cocci – staph aureus b) Pulmonary infections acquired in the course of a hospital stay c) Common in patients with severe underlying disease, immunosupression, antibiotic therapy, invasive devices such as catheters i) mechanical ventilator increase incidence (“ventilator-associated pneumonia”) d) strep. Pneumoniae NOT major pathogen www.freelivedoctor.com
61. 4. Aspiration pneumonia a) occur in severely debilitated patients (unconscious e.g., following stroke), or during repeated vomiting i) have abnormal gag and swallowing reflexes b) pneumonia partly chemical (gastric or chemical irritant) plus bacterial i) anerobes and aerobes c) necrotising frequent cause of death d) patients who survive usually develop abscess www.freelivedoctor.com
62.
63. b) Anaerobic bacteria are present in almost all lung abscesses i) primarily those found on oral cavity ii) most common aerobes are: - S. aureus - Nocardia - β – hemolytic strep. www.freelivedoctor.com

Opportunistic pneumoniae a) more common since advent of immunosuppressive and cytotoxic therapy b) AIDS epidemic i) Pneomocyctic carinii (fungus) ii) most common bacteria are E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa - E.coli complication of bacteremia, cancer patients given chemotherapy, chronic heart and lung disease. RESPONDS POORLY TO TREATMENT !! www.freelivedoctor.com
65. P. Aeruginosa (Con’t) - P. aeruginosa often seen in burn patients, cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised pts. - prior history of antibiotic treatment for another infection is common - infectious vasculitis often result in pulmonary infarction - ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT IS USUALLY UNSSATISFACTORY !! www.freelivedoctor.com
