Case presentation
A 55-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes, presents with dyspnea, high fever, chills, and productive cough with purulent sputum for 2 days duration. He denies hemoptysis. He has smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day for the past 20 years and drinks six beers a day.
On physical exam he appears acutely ill. His vital signs show a temperature of 40.2C, pulse is 130 beats/minute, RR is 48x/per minute, BP is 113/60.
Lungs are dull to percussion and bronchial breath sound heard over the left lower lobe. Chest X-ray showed infiltrates in the left lower lobe.
Differential diagnostic
Pneumonia Tuberculosis Acute bronchitis Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis Upper respiratory infection Sinusitis CHF Asthma Lung cancer
Definition of pneumonia
An acute infection of the lung parenchyma distal to the terminal bronchiole, associated with clinical or radiologic evidence of consolidation of part or parts of one or both lungs.
Terminology
Community Acquired Pneumonia versus Nosocomial pneumonia Typical pneumonia versus atypical pneumonia Mild pneumonia; Moderate pneumonia and Severe pneumonia Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia and Pleuropneumonia
Clinical manifestations
Sudden onset of fever, chills Cough Sputum production Pleuritic chest pain Dyspnea; Tachypnea Tachycardia Extra pulmonary symptoms (nausea, vomiting, malaise, headache, myalgia)
Physical examinations
Sign of pulmonary consolidation

Patient
- Acute (2 days) - Dyspnea, High fever, Chills - Productive cough, purulent sputum - T: 39.8C - Pulse: 130 x/minute - RR: 48x/per minute - Percussion: dull - Auscultation: bronchial breath sound over the left lower lobe - CXR: infiltrates in the left lower lobe.
Pneumonia
- Sudden onset of fever - Shortness of breath - Productive cough, purulent sputum - Pleuritic chest pain - Tachypnea - Restricted movement of the afflicated hemithorax - Increased fremitus - Dullness - Bronchial breath sounds; Rales - CXR: infiltrates (lobar, multilobar, segmental) or pleural effusions
Nosocomial Pneumonia
Gram negative bacilli S.aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Atypical Pneumonia
M.pneumoniae C.pneumoniae Legionella pneumophila
Diagnostic
CXR Sputum examination Blood count Blood cultures Thoracentesis Invasive diagnostic procedures Transtracheal aspiration Bronchoscopy Direct needle aspiration
CXR
CXR is the most important diagnostic tool
New or progressive pulmonary infiltrates Lobus consolidation Segmental consolidation Patchy infiltrate Pulmonary cavitations Lymphadenopathy Pleural effusions
Lobar pneumonia
Location of pneumonia
Sputum examination
The key factor to identification of the etiology
Algorithm pneumonia
Patients with Community Acquired pneumonia
Is the patients over 50 years of age ?
No Yes
Does the patient have a history of any of the following comorbid conditions ? Neoplastic disease Congestive heart failure Cerebrovascular disease Renal disease Liver disease
No
Yes
Assign patient to risk class II-V based on prediction model scoring system
Does the patient have any of the following on physician examination ? Altered mental statis Pulse 125/minute Respiratory rate 30/minute Sistolic blood presure < 90 mmHg Temperature < 35C or 40 C
No
Yes
Antibiotics in pneumonia
Macrolide Tetracycline Cotrimoxazole Co-Amoxyclav Sultamicillin - lactam (include cephalosporin) Fluoroquinolone Aminoglycoside Antipseudomonas
In regions with a high rate of infection with high-level (MIC _16 mg/mL) macrolide-resistant S. pneumoniae, consider use of alternative agents listed above in (2) for patients without comorbidities

Local factor Error in drug selection Inadequate host response Error in dose/route Complication Compliance Adverse drug reaction
Prognostic factors
Extremes of age Inappropriate antibiotic therapy Shock Involvement of 1 lobe Peripheral WBC count 5000/l Presence of associated disorders (eg: cirhosis; heart/renal failure) Development of extrapulmonary complications (eg: meningitis, endocarditis)
Complications
Acute respiratory distress syndrome Lung abscess Renal failure Septic shock Pleural effusions/Empyema Bacteriemia (Septic arthritis; Endocarditis; Meningitis; Peritonitis; Endopthalmitis.
