Study Notes
Modes of Transmission and Risk Factors
- Direct contact with an infected person and contaminated surfaces is a common mode of transmission for lower respiratory infections
- People at a higher risk of developing bacterial pneumonia include the elderly, young children, and those with underlying medical conditions
Bacterial Pneumonia
- The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae
- Bacterial pneumonia is typically characterized by rust-colored or bloody sputum
- Imaging findings characteristic of bacterial bronchopneumonia include multifocal, patchy, or diffuse infiltrates
Community-Acquired Pneumonia
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia, also known as nosocomial pneumonia, is acquired more than 48 hours after hospital admission and is usually more severe
Lobar Pneumonia
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of lobar pneumonia
Influenza
- Influenza A is the type of influenza virus that has produced pandemics
- The most recent outbreak of influenza was caused by the H1N1 virus
- The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) can prevent pneumonia
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease characterized by destruction of smooth muscle and elastic tissue, leading to permanent dilation of bronchi and bronchioles
Bronchiectasis
- The main treatment for bronchiectasis is antibiotic therapy andbronchodilators
- A chest X-ray or CT scan can help diagnose bronchiectasis
Diagnostic Tests
- A rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) can differentiate between flu and pneumonia
