Pneumonia
Acute inflammation of lung (lower
respiratory tract) caused by
microorganism, comes with fever,
focal chest symptoms, shadowing
on CXR
Leading cause of death until 1936
Discovery
of sulfa drugs and
penicillin

Classification
28/10/2009
Community Acquired Pneumonia
Occur within 48 hrs of admission or in
patient’s who haven’t been hospitalized in the
last 2 wks
Strep pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia,
influenza A, Haemophilus influenza, and
Legionella are more common pathogens
Patients with chronic diseases are more prone
to Klebsiella and other gram negative
organisms
Highest incidence in winter
Smoking important risk factor
3
Types of Pneumonia
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) (Nasocomial Infection)
28/10/2009
Develops 2 or more days after admission
Gram negative bacilli (Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, E coli,
Proteus) or Staphylococcus are more common pathogens
Aspiration around an ETT/reduced consciousness or
difficulty swallowing allows pathogens in the oropharynx to
colonize the lungs
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP): in patients on
ventilators
Aspiation: follows aspiration of gastric contents
Immunosuppression: chemotherapy/bone marrow
transplant/HIV patients susceptible to fungi and viral
infections as well as other pathogen
Highest mortality rate of nosocomial infections
4
Causes of HAP
Pseudomonas
Enterobacter
S.
aureus
S. pneumoniae
Immunosuppressive therapy
General debility
Endotracheal intubation
28/10/2009
5
Aging, 65 years or older
Male
Children under 2
Having HIV or AIDS
Increased frequency of gram- negative bacilli
(leukemia, diabetes, alcoholism)
Smoking
Being around certain chemicals
Living in certain parts of the country
Being hospitalized in ICU & having ETT
Pollution
Malnutrition
28/10/2009
6
Acquisition of Organisms
Aspiration from nasopharynx,
oropharynx
Inhalation of microbes
Hematogenous spread from
primary infection elsewhere
28/10/2009
7
Signs & Symptoms
Symptoms

Pleurisy
Cough
Discolored sputum
Signs
Cyanosis
Tachycardia

Clinical Manifestations
CAP symptoms
Sudden
onset of fever
Chills
Cough
productive of purulent
sputum
Pleuritic chest pain
28/10/2009
9
Pathophysiology:
Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Congestion from outpouring of
fluid into alveoli
Microorganisms multiply
and spread
infection, interfering with lung
function
28/10/2009
10
Pathophysiology:
Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Red hepatization
Massive
dilation of capillaries
Alveoli fill with organisms,
neutrophils, RBCs, and fibrin
Causes
lungs to appear red and
granular, similar to liver
28/10/2009
11
Complications
Pleurisy (pain with breathing)
Pleural effusion
Usually
is sterile and reabsorbed in 1-2
weeks or requires thoracentesis
Atelectasis
Usually
clears with cough and deep
breathing
28/10/2009
12
Complications
Delayed resolution
Persistent
infection seen on x-ray as
residual consolidation
Lung abscess (pus-containing lesions)
Empyema (purulent exudate in pleural
cavity)
Requires
antibiotics and drainage of
exudate
28/10/2009
13
Complications
Pericarditis
From
spread of microorganism
Arthritis
Systemic
spread of organism
Exudate can be aspirated
Meningitis
Patient
who is disoriented, confused, or
somnolent should have lumbar puncture
to evaluate meningitis
28/10/2009
14
Complications

What is tuberculosis (TB)?
Disease caused by bacteria called
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Chronic bacterial infection
Was once the leading cause of death in US
The number of cases declined in the 1940’s
when drugs were developed to treat TB
TB is still a problem worldwide
8 million people develop TB yearly
3 million die
28/10/2009
32
Tuberculosis
5-10% become
active
Only contagious
when active
Primarily affect
lungs but…
Kidneys
Liver
Brain
Bone
28/10/2009
33
How is TB spread?
Through the air from person to
person by coughing
Usually attacks lungs
Two stages
Latent TB
asymptomatic and not contagious
can take medication to prevent development
of disease
Active
TB Disease
May spread to others
May have abnormal chest x-ray
Usually have positive skin test
28/10/2009
34
Symptoms of TB
Chills
Fever
Weakness or fatigue
Sweating while sleeping, Night sweats
Cough that lasts longer than 2 weeks
Pain in chest
Coughing up blood or sputum
28/10/2009
35
Risk Factors
Close contact with someone who is infected
with TB
Traveling to a country where TB is common
Foreign-born individuals and minorities
have a higher incidence of developing TB
2002: 50% of US cases were in foreignborn individuals.
2002: 80% of all US TB cases were in
ethnic and racial minorities.
28/10/2009
36
Risk Factors
Immunocompromise
Substance abuse
Indigent (POVERTY)
Living in overcrowded, substandard housing
Health care workers performing high risk
activities
28/10/2009
37
Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR TB)
Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics
Arose from improper use of antibiotics in the
treatment of TB
Treatment of one case can cost up to $1.3 million
45 states and Washington, DC have confirmed cases
of MDR TB
Treatment is difficult and costly
Can develop from not taking proper course of
antibiotics for TB
MDR TB can be spread by an infected person
28/10/2009
38
How to protect yourself
BCG vaccine for TB is given in many countries
Not recommended for healthcare workers
unless a high percentage of patients are
infected with MDR TB
PPD test if exposure is suspected
USE proper PPE when in contact with patients
who may have TB
28/10/2009
39
PPD Skin Test Procedure
Intradermal administration of PPD
L forearm
Must be “read” between 48 and 72 hours
To accurately “read”
Visual inspection for erythema
Tactile inspection to monitor size of
induration
10 mm or > area of induration
28/10/2009
Consider
positive and must be referred
40
Tuberculosis
Diagnostic exams
PPD
Mantoux skin test
> 10mm in diameter
induration
Indicates:
Latent TB
Read
48-72 after
Intradermal: 15-degrees
Do not rub
28/10/2009
41
Confirmation of Disease
Positive reaction does not
necessarily mean active disease.
May indicate exposure to TB
Diagnosis confirmed by:
Positive smear for AFB and
Sputum culture of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
28/10/2009
42
Interventions
Combination drug
therapy
Isoniazid
Rifampicin
Pyrazinamide
Ethambutol or
streptomycin
Education

exact drug
regimen

nutrition
Reverse weight
loss and lethargy

CLASSIFICATION
Class 0—no exposure
Class 1—exposure, no infection
Class 2—latent infection; no disease (positive
PPD but no evidence of active TB
Class 3—disease; clinically active
Class 4—disease; not clinically active
Class 5—suspected disease; diagnosis
pending
28/10/2009
45
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Treated with chemotherapeutic agents for 612 months
Resistance increasing. May be primary,
secondary, or multidrug resistant.
Primary—resistance to one of first line drugs
in those who have not had prior treatment
Secondary—resistance to one or more antiTB drugs in patients undergoing tx
Multidrug resistance—resistance to two
agents, INH and Rifampicin.
