20 COMMUNITY ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA (CAP) Management Rest, avoid smoking Oxygen Fluid balance Antibiotics Analgesics Physiotherapy Prevention Influenza vaccination to those at high risk Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 20

21 HOSPITAL ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA Pneumonia occurring at least 2 days after admission to hospital Aetiology Predisposing factors Reduced host defences Aspiration Bacteria introduced into LRT Bacteraemia Majority caused by gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella) and Multidrug Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 21

22 HOSPITAL ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA Clinical features and investigations Similar to CAP Management Antibiotics for Gram-negative bacteria Oxygen therapy Fluid support Monitoring ( mortality 30% ) Physiotherapy Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 22

23 PNEUMONIA IN THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENT o Majority caused by same common pathogens, but gram-negative bacteria are more of a problem o Unusual organisms may become opportunistic pathogens Clinical features Fever, cough, breathlessness and chest X ray changes Patients may develop non-specific symptoms Onset of symptoms less rapid in opportunistic infection Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 23

24 PNEUMONIA IN THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENT Investigations Similar to other pneumonias Management Initial broad spectrum antibiotics and tailored according to results Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 24

25 SUPPURATIVE AND ASPIRATIONAL PNEUMONIA INCLUDING PULMONARY ABSCESS Suppurative pneumonia Pneumonic consolidation with destruction of lung parenchyma by inflammatory process and microabscess formation Pulmonary abscess Lesion with large localised collection of pus Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 25

26 SUPPURATIVE AND ASPIRATIONAL PNEUMONIA INCLUDING PULMONARY ABSCESS Aetiology Infection of the previously healthy lung tissue with Staph. aureus or Kleb. Pneumoniae Or inhalation of septic material during operation on nose, mouth or throat under GA or inhalation of vomitus during GA or coma Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 26

30 TUBERCULOSIS Epidemiology Caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Current estimate 1000 million will become infected between 2002 and 2020 Reasons for re-emergence of TB In developed countries Immigration, HIV, social deprivation, increased elderly, drug resistance In developing countries Ineffective control, lack of access to health care, poverty, civil unrest, HIV, drug resistance Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 30

31 TUBERCULOSIS From Porth s Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States. (9 th ed., p. 940), by Sheila C. Grossman & Carol Mattson Porth. Philadelphia, U.S.A. Walters Kluwer Health - Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 31

32 TUBERCULOSIS Predisposing factors Age children, elderly First generation immigrants from high prevalence countries Overcrowding Immunosuppression Type I diabetes X ray evidence of healed TB Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 32

33 TUBERCULOSIS Pathogenesis M. tuberculosis spread by droplet inhalation M. bovis from drinking non-sterilised milk of infected cows Bacilli enter lungs engulfed by macrophages helper T cells produce cytokines recruitment of monocytes and formation of granulomas limiting the replication and spread of organism Classical granulomas with central caseous necrosis (primary lesion Ghon focus) Primary lesion with regional lymph node involvement (Ghon complex) Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 33

34 TUBERCULOSIS Pathogenesis continued If bacilli spread before immunity established secondary foci in lymph nodes, serous membrane, meninges, bones, liver, kidneys and lungs Or scar tissue then grows around the tubercle (granuloma) completing the isolation of the bacilli generally taking around 10 days to complete Tuberculosis can now remain dormant sometimes for life, however if the immune system is compromised or bacilli escape active disease reoccurs Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 34

35 DEVELOPMENT OF TB From Pathophysiology for the Health Professions (2nd ed., p. 328), by B Gould, Philadelphia. W B Saunders Company. Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 35

36 TUBERCULOSIS Clinical features Primary TB Can be asymptomatic with a very gradual onset of the disease, diagnosis not completed until the disease is advanced. Flu like symptoms may be present Miliary TB 2 3 weeks of fever, night sweats, weight loss, dry cough Other symptoms would relate to what parts of the body are affected Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 36

37 TUBERCULOSIS Clinical features continued.. Pulmonary TB Dry cough leading to productive haemoptyic sputum Chest pain Shortness of breath Flu like illness Extrapulmonary TB common in HIV patients ( 20 % in HIV negative ) Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 37

38 TUBERCULOSIS Investigation for diagnosis Sputum, tissue biopsy (microscopy & culture) Tuberculin test Control and prevention BCG vaccine Identification and contact tracing Treatment Anti TB drugs (multiple drugs to prevent resistance) Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 38

41 RESPIRATORY DISEASES CAUSED BY FUNGI Aspergillosis Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is hypersensitivity reaction to A. fumigatus involving bronchial wall and periphery of the lungs More common in autumn and winter & associated with asthma Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 41

42 ABPA Clinical features Fever, breathlessness, productive cough with bronchial casts and worsening of asthmatic symptoms Chest X ray Skin test Blood test Investigations Management Steroid, physiotherapy Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 42
