This can happen through natural exposure to a pathogen or through vaccination. This occurs when a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through their immune system. This can happen naturally, such as antibodies passed from mother to baby through breast milk, or artificially through antibody-containing blood products. Example: Getting vaccinated against measles. Example: Receiving antibodies for rabies after exposure to the virus. 28. What is Superinfection? **A superinfection is an infection that occurs on top of an existing infection, usually due to the disruption of normal microbial flora by antibiotics, allowing opportunistic pathogens to overgrow.** 29. **[COPD]** ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barrel Chest A physical characteristic often seen in advanced COPD where the chest becomes rounded and enlarged due to chronic overinflation of the lungs. 30. ----------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Glucorticoid inhalers **=** use daily regardless of having asthma or not ----------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- 31. -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main pathogenesis in emphysema **=** The destruction of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs, leading to decreased surface area for gas exchange and difficulty in breathing -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32. ----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main pathogenesis in chronic bronchitis **=** increase in mucus production and inflammation in the airways, leading to coughing and difficulty in breathing. ----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33. ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Albuterol **=** beta 2 agonist treats asthma by opening the airways (bronchodilator) ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 34.
