4. Pneumonia An infection of the pulmonary parenchyma
Previously classified as community-acquired (CAP), hospital-acquired (HAP), or ventilator-associated (VAP)
Recently, CAP and health care–associated pneumonia (HCAP)
CURB-65 criteria for prognosis and determining hospital admission:
confusion (C);
urea >7 mmol/L (U);
respiratory rate ≥30/min (R);
blood pressure, systolic ≤90 mmHg or diastolic ≤60 mmHg (B); and
age ≥65 years

8. Lung Abscess
A necrosis and cavitation of the lung following microbial infection
Characterized as either primary (~80% of cases) or secondary
Can be acute (<4–6 weeks in duration) or chronic (~40% of cases)

10. Infective Endocarditis
The prototypic lesion of infective endocarditis, the vegetation, is a mass of platelets, fibrin, microcolonies of microorganisms, and scant inflammatory cells
Can be classified according to the temporal evolution of disease, the site of infection, the cause of infection, or the predisposing risk factor (e.g., injection drug use)

18. Infectious Arthritis

20. an infection of bone, can be caused by various microorganisms that arrive at bone through different routes
Any of three mechanisms can underlie osteomyelitis:
(1) Hematogenous spread;
(2) spread from a contiguous site following surgery;
(3) secondary infection in the setting of vascular insufficiency or concomitant neuropathy

22. Intraabdominal infections occur in two stages: peritonitis and—if the patient survives this stage and goes untreated—abscess formation
Peritonitis is either primary (without an apparent source of contamination) or secondary
Abscess can be intraabdominal OR Visceral abscesses
