Although signs and symptoms vary, many cases of pneumonia develop suddenly, with chest pain, fever, chills, cough and shortness of breath. Infection often follows a cold or the flu, but it also can be associated with other illnesses or occur on its own. Although antibiotics can treat some of the most common forms of bacterial pneumonias antibiotic-resistant strains are a growing problem. For that reason, and because the disease can be very serious, it's best to try to prevent infection in the first place.

    Extractions: Pneumocystis pneumonia is a lung infection that occurs primarily in people with weakened immune systemsespecially people who are HIV-positive. The disease agent is an organism whose biological classification is still uncertain. Pneumocystis carinii was originally thought to be a one-celled organism (a protozoan), but more recent research suggests that it is a fungus. Although its life cycle is known to have three stages, its method of reproduction is not yet completely understood. The complete name of the disease is Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, often shortened to PCP. PCP is also sometimes called pneumocystosis. Description Pneumonia as a general term refers to a severe lung inflammation. In pneumocystis pneumonia, this inflammation is caused by the growth of Pneumocystis carinii , a fungus-like organism that is widespread in the environment. PCP is ordinarily a rare disease, affecting only people with weakened immune systems. Many of these people are patients receiving drugs for organ transplants or cancer treatment. With the rising incidence of AIDS, however, PCP has become primarily associated with AIDS patients. In fact, as many as 75% of AIDS patients have developed PCP. It has also been the leading cause of death in AIDS patients.

PubMed Citation Pneumocystis pneumonia remains the most prevalent opportunistic infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). First identified as a protozoan nearly 100 years ago and reclassified as a fungus in 1988, pneumocystis cannot be propagated in culture. Few treatment options exist for patients with pneumocystis pneumonia. The number of patients who are receiving chronic immunosuppressive medication or who have an altered immune system and are thus at risk for pneumocystis pneumonia is rapidly growing. Although the prevalence of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has decreased in the Western hemisphere owing to the routine use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), many patients worldwide do not

    Extractions: More Features Printer-friendly version Diagnosis: Diagnosing pneumonia may be difficult, since lab tests to grow the bacteria from samples can take many days to process, and chest x-rays cannot always distinguish between pneumonia and other conditions. New tests have the potential to make diagnosis easier and quicker. One is a blood test that identifies a marker of severe inflammation in the body. A new 15-minute urine test shows promise in identifying Legionella pneumophila and Streptococcus pneumoniae in patients on ventilators. Physicians may now sample fluid from the trachea or lungs to identify the pneumonia-causing bacteria. Treatment: Treating pneumonia has become increasingly complex as bacteria develop resistance to widely used antibiotics. New antibiotics and combinations of older antibiotics are proving effective against many hardy strains of bacteria. Moreover, guidelines for the appropriate treatment of patients at high risk for pneumonia those with heart disease, diabetes, asthma, HIV infection, leukemia, and other lung diseases, for example are improving the ability to prevent pneumonia and reduce deaths from the disease. Drug Warning: In February 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the antibiotic telithromycin (Ketek) would no longer be approved for acute bacterial sinusitis and acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, but it would remain on the market for the treatment of mild-to-moderate pneumonia acquired outside of hospitals or long-term care facilities (community-acquired pneumonia, or CAP). In addition to warnings for liver damage, Ketek will now carry warnings of additional drug-related adverse events, including visual disturbances and loss of consciousness.

BOOP is characterized by polyploid endobronchial connective tissue masses composed of myxoid fibroblastic tissue resembling granulation tissue filling the lumens of terminal and respiratory bronchioles and extending in a continuous fashion into alveolar ducts and alveoli, representing an organizing pneumonia ( Figure 1 Other histological features include central clusters of mononuclear inflammatory cells possibly found in the intraluminal polyps (the polyps appear to float freely within a bronchiole or are focally attached to the wall), chronic inflammation in the walls of the surrounding alveoli with reactive type II cells, increased foamy macrophages in the alveoli, and preserved lung architecture.

    Extractions: Patient Notes Download this Patient Note in PDF format VOL 103 / NO 4 / APRIL 1999 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation of the smallest air passages in the lungs. Infection can be caused by any of dozens of bacteria, viruses, and fungal organisms. Inflammation can result from inhaling dust, chemicals, food, or vomit. Pneumonia can be a very dangerous disease if it is not recognized and treated early. When you have pneumonia, the tiny air sacs in your lungs (alveoli) fill with pus and other liquid. Oxygen then can't reach your blood. If your blood contains too little oxygen, your body's cells can't work properly and you become ill. There are several different kinds of pneumonia, but bacterial, viral, and a less typical type called mycoplasmal pneumonia are the most common. The viruses and bacteria that cause pneumonia are contagious and are usually found in fluid from the mouth or nose of an infected person. Illness can spread through exposure to coughs and sneezes, shared drinking glasses and eating utensils, and used tissues or handkerchiefs. Bacterial pneumonia This is the most serious type of pneumonia and can attack anyonefrom infants to the very old. People with respiratory disease and weakened immune systems are at greatest risk.

In some cases, pneumonia produces mild symptoms and can go undetected or be mistaken for a severe cold or the flu (influenza). Elderly adults and other high-risk patients often show less obvious symptoms. Pneumonia can be life threatening and requires immediate medical care. Pneumonia symptoms may appear suddenly or develop gradually over time. In general, symptoms depend on the age of the patient, the patient's overall health, and on the type of pneumonia. The most common symptoms of pneumonia include: Below-normal body temperature (in older adults) Bluish coloring at the base of fingernails or of the lips Breathing problems, such as shortness of breath or painful inhalation

Researchers reported their findings at the 2008 International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases in Atlanta, Georgia. "Over the last few years we have been receiving reports of a severe CAP caused by S. aureus. There are a lot of questions about this disease, but until now there have primarily been case studies which tend to highlight the severest of cases and may present a biased picture," says Alexander Kallen, a lead researcher on the study.
