Definition • Pneumonia is an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma
New Classification of P. • Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) • Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) • Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) • Health care–associated pneumonia (HCAP)
Pathophysiology • Proliferation of microbial pathogens at the alveolar level • The host's response to those pathogens
Routes Of Infection • Microaspiration • Gross aspiration • Inhalation of aerosol ( Aerosolization ) • Hematogenous ( distant foci ) • Direct spread ( contiguous foci ) : infected pleural or mediastinal space
Route Of Infection,Microaspiration • Microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretion is the most common route. • Most pulmonary pathogens originate in the oropharyngeal flora. • ~ 50% of healthy adults aspirate oropharyngeal secretions into LRT during sleep.
Defense MechanismsMechanical factors • The hairs and turbinates of the nares • The branching architecture of the tracheobronchial tree : mucociliary clearance and local antibacterial factors
Defense MechanismsMechanical factors • The gag reflex and the cough mechanism • The normal flora adhering to mucosal cells of the oropharynx
Defense MechanismsMechanical factors • Resident alveolar macrophages • The host inflammatory response, rather than the proliferation of microorganisms, triggers the clinical syndrome of pneumonia
The Host Inflammatory Response • IL1 , TNF : Fever • IL-8 , G- CSF: stimulate the release of neutrophils and their attraction to the lung: - Peripheral leukocytosis - Increased purulent secretions • The newly recruited neutrophils : (ARDS)
The Host Inflammatory Response • Erythrocytes can cross the alveolar-capillary membrane : hemoptysis
The Host Inflammatory Response • The capillary leak : * Radiographic infiltrate * Rales detectable on auscultation • Alveolar filling : hypoxemia • Increased SIRS : respiratory alkalosis
The Host Inflammatory Response • ↓Compliance due to capillary leak • Hypoxemia • Increased respiratory drive • Increased secretions • Infection-related bronchospasm dyspnea
Pathogenesis Colonization of ph. Air Nonpulmonary site Contiguous site Microaspiration Inhalation Bloodstream Disease Direct extension
Pathology Edema (exudate and often of bacteria) Red hepatization(RBC+occasionally bacteria) Gray hepatization(no new RBC, PMN dominant, disappeared bacteria) Resolution(macrophage reappears)
Pathology Pneumococcal Pneumonia • Lobar: Involvement an entire lunglobe, homogeneously Edema Red hepatization Gray hepatizationResolution Bacterial CAP
Pathology • Bronchopneumonia: Patchy consolidation in 1 or more lobes, in lower & post of lung with poorlydemarcation. Bronchi Bronchioles Edema Exudate
Pathology • Because of the microaspiration mechanism, abronchopneumonia pattern is most common in nosocomial pneumonias
Pathology • Interstitial: Involvement of alveolar septa & connective tissue • Patchy or diffuse • Lymph, MQ & plasma cell in alveolar wall • No exudate in the alveoli
Pathology • Viral and Pneumocystispneumonias Represent alveolar rather than interstitial processes
Pathology • Abronchopneumonia pattern: most common in nosocomial pneumonias • Lobar pattern: more common in bacterial CAP • Alveolar rather than interstitial processes: Viral and Pneumocystis pneumonias
Community-Acquired Pneumonia • Etiology: Streptococcus pneumoniae is most common
Microbial Causes of CAP, by Site of Care Hospitalized Patients Pathogens are listed in descending order of frequency
CAP : Etiology • “Typical" bacterial pathogens • “Atypical" organisms
Typical" bacterial pathogens • S. pneumoniae • Haemophilusinfluenzae • In selected patients: * S. aureus * Gram-negative bacilli : - Klebsiellapneumoniae - Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Atypical Bacterial Pathogens • Mycoplasmapneumoniae • Chlamydophilapneumoniae • Legionella spp. • Respiratory viruses : influenza viruses, adenoviruses, RSVs
CAP, Etiology • The atypical organisms: cannot be cultured on standard media, nor can they be seen on Gram's stain
CAP, Etiology • A virus in up to 18% of cases of CAP that require admission to the hospital • ~10–15% of CAP cases are polymicrobial
Etiology, Anaerobes • An episode of aspiration days to weeks before presentation ► Unprotected airway (alcohol or drug overdose, seizure) +► Significantgingivitis
Anaerobes • Often complicated by : - Abscess formation - Significant empyemas - Parapneumonic effusions
S. aureusPneumonia • Complicates influenza infection • MRSA strains, primary causes of CAP, relatively uncommon • Necrotizing pneumonia
CAP , Etiology • In more than half of cases, a specific etiology is never determined
Epidemiology, CAP • In the U.S: 4 million CAP cases annually • ~80% are treated on an outpatient basis • ~20% are treated in the hospital
CAP • >600,000 hospitalizations • 64 million days of restricted activity • 45,000 deaths annually • The overall yearly cost :$9–10 billion (U.S.) • The incidence rates are highest at the extremes of age
Epidemiology, CAP • Risk factors: Alcoholism Asthma Immunosuppression Institutionalization ≥ 70 y.
Epidemiology , R.F Pneumococcal pneumonia: • Dementia • Seizure disorders • Heart failure • cerebrovascular disease • Alcoholism • Tobacco smoking • COPD • HIV infection
CA-MRSA Infection • Skin colonization with CA-MRSA • Skin infection with CA-MRSA
The Enterobacteriaceae • Patients who have recently been hospitalized and/or received antibiotic therapy • Comorbidities : Alcoholism Heart failure Renal failure
P. aeruginosa • Severe structural lung disease, such as: - Bronchiectasis - Cystic fibrosis - Severe COPD
Legionella infection • Diabetes • Hematologic malignancy • Cancer • Severe renal disease • HIV infection • Smoking • Male gender • Recent hotel stay or ship cruise
CAP, Clinical Manifestations • Fever • Tachycardic response • Chills and/or sweats • Cough :nonproductive or productive of mucoid, purulent, or blood-tinged sputum • shortness of breath
CAP, Clinical Manifestations • If the pleura is involved: pleuritic chest pain • Up to 20%, GI symptoms : nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea • Other symptoms :fatigue, headache, myalgias, and arthralgias
