Study Notes
Bacterial Meningitis and Pneumonia: Clinical Manifestations and Pathophysiology
- Bacterial meningitis can be caused by various pathogens including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae.
- Clinical manifestations of bacterial meningitis include rapid onset fever, headache, neck stiffness, nausea/vomiting, and signs of herniation like coma and papilledema.
- Pneumonia is characterized by acute infection of lung tissue, leading to fever, productive cough, and tachypnea.
- Sepsis and septic shock are characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection, with a predicted mortality of 40%.
- The pathophysiology of sepsis involves hemodynamic alterations, vascular and multiorgan dysfunction, and a systemic response to infections.
- Specific organ system dysfunctions in sepsis may include cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, and hematologic dysfunction.
- Infectious diarrhea can be caused by viral pathogens like rotavirus and norovirus, and transmitted through person-to-person, water-borne, or food-borne routes.
- Secretory diarrhea is characterized by watery diarrhea due to superficial attachment to enterocytes in the small bowel lumen, caused by pathogens like Vibrio cholerae and Enterotoxigenic E. coli.
- Inflammatory diarrhea results from bacterial invasion of the mucosal lumen, leading to fever, lower abdominal pain, and diarrhea containing visible mucus, caused by pathogens like Shigella and Salmonella.
- Hemorrhagic diarrhea is caused by EHEC producing Shiga-like toxins, leading to a broad spectrum of clinical disease including hemolytic-uremic syndrome.
- Shiga toxin from EHEC can enter the systemic circulation and cause vascular damage, potentially leading to hemolytic-uremic syndrome characterized by anemia and renal failure.
- Bacterial meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, and infectious diarrhea represent significant infectious diseases with distinct clinical manifestations and pathophysiological mechanisms.
