    Study Notes

    Respiratory Disorders - Part 2

    • Acute Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tree, often thick secretions. Caused by respiratory infections or inhaled irritants.
    • Clinical Manifestations: Productive cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain/tightness, low-grade fever, headache.
    • Diagnosis: Chest X-ray, cultures.
    • Management: Expectorants, antipyretics, analgesics, bronchodilators, antibiotics (if bacterial), fluids (avoid milk), encouragement of deep breathing and coughing.

    Legionnaires' Disease

    • Cause: Legionella pneumophilia bacteria, thrives in water reservoirs (e.g., AC units).
    • Transmission: Airborne, through aerosolized water.
    • Symptoms: Life-threatening pneumonia, respiratory failure, renal failure, septic shock, leading to possible death.
    • Incubation Period: Symptoms usually appear 2-14 days after exposure.
    • Initial Symptoms: High fever, headache, diarrhea, malaise, muscle pain.
    • Complications: Possible progression to severe complications and death

    SARS

    • Cause: Coronavirus
    • Transmission: Close contact with infected persons. Airborne transmission is possible, but is less likely than close contact.
    • Not COVID: Different virus.
    • Symptoms: Elevated temperature, head ache, muscle aches, mild respiratory symptoms like dry cough and shortness of breath

    Tuberculosis

    • Cause: Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.
    • Transmission: Airborne droplets
    • Diagnostics: Tuberculin skin test (TST), quantiFERON TB Gold test (QFT-GIT), X ray, sputum sample.
    • Types: Active or latent infection
    • Management: Antibiotics, in active/infectious cases, anti-viral (if needed), respiratory isolation, and other measures, to support the patient during treatment and recovery.

    Pneumonia

    • Cause: Infection in the lungs by bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organisms
    • Symptoms: Shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort, fever, chills, cough, sputum, and other symptoms varying due to causative agent.
    • Diagnostics: Xrays or other imaging, sputum tests (where applicable) and/or blood tests

    Plural Effusion

    • Cause: Accumulation of fluid in the pleural space typically caused by infection or related issues
    • Symptoms: Severe breathing difficulties, pain in the chest area (potentially sharp or dull), shortness of breath, and other symptoms depending on cause and patient.
    • Diagnosis: X-Ray or CT scan of the affected lung region (possibly with samples to classify the nature of the fluid and/or other diagnostic tests)
    • Management: Treatments related to the cause, possible surgical draining to relieve pressure on the lungs..
