Pneumonia and Tuberculosis Quiz

A type of pneumonia that affects one or more lobes of a single lung, often caused by bacterial pathogens.

The inhalation of substances, such as food, vomit, or stomach contents, into the lungs, leading to pneumonia.

A type of pneumonia affecting small areas of the lungs, typically caused by a variety of organisms.

A test used to diagnose tuberculosis, where a small amount of a substance called tuberculin is injected into the skin. A positive test indicates exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

A raised, hardened area at the injection site of the Mantoux test, indicating a positive result and suggesting exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

A type of pneumonia characterized by a mild and scattered pattern in the lungs, often caused by viruses.

A blood test that analyzes the levels of dissolved gases in the blood, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH, to evaluate the respiratory system.

An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, which can be a symptom of respiratory failure in pneumonia.

A condition characterized by an excessive buildup of acid in the body, typically due to impaired gas exchange in the lungs.

The process of a pathogen developing resistance to antibiotics, making them less effective in treating infections.

A type of antibiotic commonly used to treat tuberculosis, which can cause liver damage.

A type of antibiotic commonly used to treat tuberculosis, which can cause orange-colored urine, sweat, and tears.

A type of antibiotic commonly used to treat tuberculosis, which can cause visual disturbances.

A type of antibiotic commonly used to treat tuberculosis, which can cause gout and liver problems.

The process of removing secretions from the airway using a suction device.

A type of pneumonia that occurs due to breathing in foreign substances, such as vomit, food, or saliva.

A test that measures the amount of inflammatory response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens.

A type of pneumonia commonly seen in individuals with weakened immune systems, often caused by the organism Pneumocystis jirovecii.

A type of pneumonia caused by the organism Pneumocystis jirovecii, primarily found in immunocompromised individuals.

A type of pneumonia caused by the organism Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is often found in the nose and throat.

A white blood cell count above the normal range, which can indicate an infection.

A condition that occurs when the body's response to infection leads to widespread inflammation, often affecting multiple organs.

A substance produced by the body during hypoperfusion, indicating a lack of oxygen in tissues. Levels above 4 mmol/L indicate a serious problem.

Pain in the chest that worsens when breathing deeply or coughing, often associated with inflammation of the pleura.

A technique used to immobilize the chest wall during coughing, reducing pain associated with pleuritic chest pain.

A condition where the body has a deficient ability to produce or respond to interferon, a protein crucial for immune responses.

A type of pneumonia caused by the organism Haemophilus influenzae, which is often found in the nose and throat.

A test that uses a swab to collect samples from the respiratory tract, which are then analyzed for the presence of bacteria.

A type of test that amplifies and detects the genetic material of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, helping diagnose tuberculosis.

A condition where a person has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis but is not currently actively sick with tuberculosis.

A medical condition diagnosed by radiographic imaging that often helps to diagnose tuberculosis and other lung diseases.

An image taken of the internal organs using high-frequency sound waves, often used to diagnose tuberculosis or other lung conditions.

The process of removing air and fluid from the pleural space, which is the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This procedure helps to relieve pressure and improve breathing.
