10
A 52 year old man is admitted with one week history of dry cough, fever and headache. He appeared obtunded, tachypneic and was hypotensive. Two of his workmates have been admitted in hospital with pneumonia in last month.
11
What the history suggest? semi-conscious, hypotensive and tachypneic Two of his workmates have been admitted Chest X-ray & ABG have been requested & done
12
What are the radiological finding?
13
Chest radiograph shows dense consolidation in both lower lobes.
14
What is the most likely diagnosis? On admission ABG show a PaO 2 of 53 mmHg, PaCO 2 of 46 mmHg pH 7.32, HCO 3, oxygen sat. 86 on room air
15
What is the next step? ABC : Oxygen mask, IV fluid Admission start empirical antibiotic treatment Send CBC, Chemistry and electrolytes Sputum for gram stain and culture, urine antigen test & blood culture
17
Diagnostic approach to community-acquired pneumonia in adults
18
General consideration More cases occurring during the winter months. Mechanism : microaspiration more than 100 microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) Most common cause of pneumonia is strept. pneumoni Never forget Mycobacterium tuberculosis
19
Risk Factors Alcoholism, malnutrition, chronic pulmonary disease of any kind, cigarette smoking, infection with HIV, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis of the liver, anemia, prior hospitalization for any reason, renal insufficiency, and coronary artery disease (with or without recognized congestive heart failure), prior viral infection
20
Types of CAP Typical (40-60%) Strep. Pneumonia H. influenza Maroxella Atypical (10-30%) Legionella Mycoplasma Chlamydia
21
Natural history of atypical pneumonia M. pneumoniae or C. pneumoniae infection is often self- limited but can cause severe CAP Mycoplasma pneumonia Is the most common atypical pathogens responsible for CAP in adults Legionella pneumonia Hyponatremia (Na 125-130 mmol/L) is more common than with other forms of pneumonia. Delayed treatment significantly increases the associated mortality rate
22
Clinical Evaluation
26
Investigation 1. Chest X-ray Clinical features and radiographic changes are usually enough to start treatment. False negative chest radiographs may occure if it taken very early (<24 hr’s), dehydrated or in immunocompromised patient.

28
Investigation Why? False negative chest radiographs may occure if it taken very early (<24 hr’s), dehydrated or in immunocompromised patient.
29
Chlamydia pneumonia. Chest radiograph shows multifocal, patchy consolidation in the right upper, middle, and lower lobes.
30
Mycoplasma pneumonia. Chest radiograph shows a vague, ill-defined opacity in the left lower lobe
32
Investigation 1. X-ray 2. CBC, chemistry, electrolytes, Sputum for gram stain and culture, Blood culture, and pulse oxymetry or ABG !! Why? positive for a pathogen in 7 to 16 percent of hospitalized patients 3. Specific tests Legionella, C. pneumonia and Mycoplasma Bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage

Urin Antigen Test
35
How to Make the Decision to Admit
36
the decision to admit assessment of patient prognosis and selection of an appropriate site of care. The 2007 consensus guidelines from IDSA and the ATS recommend either the CURB-65 or Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI)
37
CURB-65 uses five prognostic variables Confusion (based upon a specific mental test or disorientation to person, place, or time)
38
Urea (blood urea nitrogen in the United States) >7 mmol/L (20 mg/dL) CURB-65 uses five prognostic variables
39
Confusion (based upon a specific mental test or disorientation to person, place, or time) Urea (blood urea nitrogen in the United States) >7 mmol/L (20 mg/dL) Respiratory rate >30 breaths/minute CURB-65 uses five prognostic variables
40
Confusion (based upon a specific mental test or disorientation to person, place, or time) Urea (blood urea nitrogen in the United States) >7 mmol/L (20 mg/dL) Respiratory rate >30 breaths/minute Blood pressure [BP] (systolic <90 mmHg or diastolic <60 mmHg) CURB-65 uses five prognostic variables
41
Confusion (based upon a specific mental test or disorientation to person, place, or time) Urea (blood urea nitrogen in the United States) >7 mmol/L (20 mg/dL) Respiratory rate >30 breaths/minute Blood pressure [BP] (systolic <90 mmHg or diastolic <60 mmHg) Age >65 years CURB-65 uses five prognostic variables
42
Other requirement for hospital admission pneumonia complications (e.g. hypoxia persist & respiratory Acidosis ) exacerbation of underlying disease inability to take oral medication issues affecting outpatient care like living situation Comorbid illness (e.g. HF, DM, RF, neurological dysfunction, Malnourished and postsplenectomy state…)
43
Pneumonia severity index This scoring system evaluates 20 different clinical and laboratory indices Coexisting Illnesses Neoplastic disease Liver disease Congestive heart failure Cerebrovascular disease Renal disease Physical Examination Altered mental status Respiratory rate >30 breaths per min Systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg Temperature 40°C (104°F) Pulse rate >125 breaths per min Age Nursing home resident Laboratory Arterial pH <7.35 Blood urea nitrogen >30 mg/dL (11 mmol/L) Sodium <130 mmol/L Glucose >250 mg/dL (14 mmol/L) Hematocrit <30% PaO 2 <60 mm Hg Pleural effusion
44
Risk class I - Older than 50 years, no preexisting illness or vital sign abnormality Risk class II - < 70 points Risk class III - 71-90 points Risk class IV - 91-130 points Risk class V - > 131 points
45
Risk class I - Older than 50 years, no preexisting illness or vital sign abnormality Risk class II - < 70 points Risk class III - 71-90 points Risk class IV - 91-130 points Risk class V - > 131 points
46
Risk class I - Older than 50 years, no preexisting illness or vital sign abnormality Risk class II - < 70 points Risk class III - 71-90 points Risk class IV - 91-130 points Risk class V - > 131 points
47
Management Close monitoring of vital signs, O 2 saturation and ABG result If level of conscious deteriorate look for evidence of sepsis or organ dysfunction. suctioning of secretions & chest physiotherapy proper hydration, nutrition & early mobilization Treatment of underlying disese
50
Antibiotic Treatment Antibiotic should be reevaluated based on lab. result and clinical response
51
Antibiotic Treatment for MRSA Vancomycin or linezolid(be aware of possibility of false positive)linezolid for Pseudomonas piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem, meropenem, or cefepime meropenemcefepime
52
Antibiotic Treatment
53
Follow up Antibiotic therapy should not be stopped until the patient is afebrile for 48 to 72 hours and is clinically stable.
54
Follow up Clinical improvement should be observed in 48-72 hours. cough resolves within 8 to 14 days and crackles heard on auscultation clear within 3 weeks. The chest radiograph usually clears within 4 to 12 weeks according to individual health state and underlying lung disease
55
Follow up When patient can be switched to oral therapy?
56
Follow up If discharged to continue treatment as out patient: Patients should be instructed to return if their condition deteriorates. Patients should be told that some symptoms can last up to 30 days (e.g. fatigue, cough with or without sputum production, dyspnea & chest pain). follow-up chest radiograph in approximately 6 weeks to ensure resolution of consolidation to exclude endobronchial obstruction.
57
Follow up If no improvement within 72 hours?? Wrong drug Wrong dose Wrong Diagnosis
58
Follow up If no improvement within 72 hours?? 1. Organism that is not covered by the initial empiric antibiotic regimen 2. Secondary to drug resistance 3. Nonbacterial infection or unusual pathogens (e.g. PCP, TB) 4. Drug fever 5. Complication such as empyema or abscess. 6. Other differential diagnosis (e.g. malignancies, inflammatory conditions, PE, HF…)
59
Follow up If no improvement within 72 hours?? 1. Organism that is not covered by the initial empiric antibiotic regimen 2. Secondary to drug resistance 3. Nonbacterial infection or unusual pathogens (e.g. PCP, TB) 4. Drug fever 5. Complication such as empyema or abscess. 6. Other differential diagnosis (e.g. malignancies, inflammatory conditions, PE, HF…)
60
Re-evaluate nonresponse is seen in about in 6 to 15% of whom require hospitalization If Patients show no clinical improvement within 72 hours are considered nonresponders
61
Re-evaluate careful history, physical examination, and review of the medical record. careful observation with or without therapy is warranted for 4 to 8 weeks if no improving or progression of disease chest CT & fiberoptic bronchoscopy ( diagnose 90% of cases) should be considered If negative, further evaluation with thoracoscopic or open lung biopsy may be necessary.
62
Immunocompromised Early imaging (CT scan) is critical, bronchoscopy & biopsy can be concedered Empiric therapy should started early
63
Immunocompromised In severely ill patients with Legionella pneumonia rifampin may be recommended for use in combination with macrolides. The duration of therapy can be extended to 21 day.
64
General Consideration Patients without spleen may die of pneumococcal pneumonia and sepsis pulmonary consolidation is found only at autopsy (not x- ray) defective clearance of pneumococci from the bloodstream, death may occur in as little as 24 h Pattern of infection could be Community- acquired, Nosocomial or Reactivation
65
Clinical Evaluation In elderly & immunocompromised may have minimal cough, no sputum production, and no fever & minimal signs on physical exam 1. respiratory rate above 24 breaths/minute (45 to 70 percent of patients) 2. Tachycardia 3. Tiredness & confusion.
66
Common organism 1. Aspiration? Anaerobe 2. Alcoholic and drug abuser ? Increase incidence of Klebsiella 3. COPD ? Increase incidence of H. influenza & Pseudomonus. 4. Immunocompromised? Staph., Viral, PCP…
67
A 52-year-old woman developed fever, cough, and dyspnea. She also developed a rash that was prominent over the face and the trunk. The chest radiograph showed interstitial infiltrates, with suggestion of a micronodular process. The Tzanck smear results from the skin vesicle suggest
