Pneumonia

lobar/ bronchopneumonia
Pneumonia
- is an inflammation condition
of the lung. It is often
characterized as including
inflammation of the
parenchyma of the lung (that
is, the alveoli) and abnormal
alveolar filling with fluid
(consolidation and exudation).
CAUSATIVE MICROORGANISM

strep. Pneumoniae,
staph. Aureus,
hemophilus influenzae,
klebsiela pneumonia etc.
 CLINICAL
MANIFESTATION
>Sudden onset of shaking chills.
>Rapidly rising fever
>Stabbing chest pain and aggrevated by
respiration and coughing
>Paroxysmal or choking cough
>Pain in the abdomen and can be
mistaken for appendecitis
>Herpes appears on lips
>Sputum – little bright red/rusty or prune
juice colored sputum
>Convulsions and vomiting
 >Body malaise
>With marked techypnea with respiratory
grunting and flaring of nares
>Pulse is rapid and bounding
>Flushed cheeks, bright eyes, cyanosis
>Cough is short, painful and incessant
>Labored respiration
>Diaphoresis
>Delirum in the acute stage of the
disease
 DIAGNOSIS

*sputum typing
*blood or serologic examination

TREATMENT

*Absolute bed rest.

*Oxygen administration
*Expectorants and bronchodilators
*Antibiotics - Penicillin G Na (for 7-
10 days)

 PERTUSSIS
(whooping cough)
Pertussis
- also known as whooping cough, is a
highly contagious disease caused by the
bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It is known
to last for a duration of approximately 6
weeks before subsiding. The disease
derives its name from the "whoop" sound
made from the inspiration of air after a
cough. A similar, milder disease is caused by
B.parapertussis. Although many medical
sources describe the whoop as "high-
pitched", this is generally the case with
infected babies and children only, not adults.
 SYMPTOMS
catarrhal stage:
mild coughing, sneezing, or runny nose

paroxysmal stage:
After one to two weeks, the coughing
develops into uncontrollable fits, each
with five to ten forceful coughs, followed
by a high-pitched "whoop" sound as the
patient struggles to breathe in
afterwards.
 DIAGNOSIS

*Bordet-Gengou medium
- culturing of nasopharyngeal
swabs.
*Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
*Direct immunoflourence (DFA)
serological methods.
 TREATMENT

*Erythromycin
*Ampicillin (it is use if the
organism is resistant to
erythromycin)
*Hyperimmune Pertussis gamma
globulin (is often employed in
patients under 2 years of age)
