KNOWLEDGE pneumonia
Pneumonia refers to pneumonia. There are 50 such inflammatory diseases of the lungs. In such situations, the lung development of fluids inevitably experience. Some micro-organisms cause pneumonia. Pneumonic inflammation of the lungs that causes the collection of cellular wastes and blood cells in the air sacs in the lungs. Such pneumonic inflammation creates breathing problems.
CAUSES Pneumonia
Pneumonia is caused by infection. The perpetratorsresponsible for causing such pneumonic infections are protozoa or fungi, mycoplasma, rickettsia, and bacteria. Respiratory infections caused by rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and influenza virus can also lead to pneumonia. Most of the viral pneumonia cases are mild. They also resolve within a week’s time with or without any particular treatment.
HOW DANGEROUS CAN PNEUMONIA BE
Every year, 90,000 deaths are reported to be because of pneumonia in the United States. What is more, approximately five million cases of pneumonia recorded in this country.
Pneumonia can be life-threatening
If it is detected early, a person with a good constitution and proper treatment can quickly recover from a flu attack. However, the acute attack of pneumonia can be life-threatening as well. In most cases, pneumonia can prove fatal to patients with weakened immune systems. Even healthy people can complicacies pneumonia, if not detected early. There may be seriousConsequences of non-pneumonia patients receive an effective and rapid treatment.
Lobar pneumonia
Lobar pneumonia is an acute form of infection. It is caused by the pneumococcal bacteria. The generic name of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. Lobar pneumonia is usually followed an extreme form of viral respiratory infections, particularly upper respiratory tract. The symptoms of lobar pneumonia are chest pain when breathing, coughing and fever with chills and accompaniedShaking. The patient's body temperature hovers around 104 ° F (about 40 ° C). The sputum is criss-crossed the blood.
It should be emphasized that most of the deaths before the invention of antibiotics by lobar pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia generally attacks a lung lobe or a part thereof. At times, lobar pneumonia strikes both lungs, then it is known as double pneumonia.
Different types of bacterial PNEUMONIAS
In addition to Streptococcus pneumoniae covered other bacterial pneumonia inbronchopneumonias category. Bronchopneumonias reduce fever, compared to which a skilled in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Moreover bronchopneumonias symptoms appear more slowly than the Streptococcus pneumoniae characters. The bronchopneumonias primary objective of the bronchial tubes, known as the bronchioles. Since these tubes are the nearest of the lungs, they can be very dangerous. The bacteria are the cause bronchopneumonias streptococci several species of staphylococci, Haemophilusinfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, pneumococcal and adjacent to the bacterium causing Legionnaires diseases, namely, Legionella pneumophilia.
Pneumonia FORMS
There are basically three types of pneumonia. They are atypical pneumonia by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a mono-cell organism lacking core, the lung inflammation caused by the harmless protozoan Pneumocystis carinii, and Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Atypical pneumonia: This is a common type of pneumonia. Outbreaks of such forms ofPneumonia are usually seen among students in educational institutions and also among the soldiers. Normally dissolves of atypical pneumonia. However, antibiotics can also bring relief. It is one minute prokaryotic organism such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae. These single-celled organisms is neither a virus nor a bacterium.
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia: This form of pneumonia by the protozoan Pneumocystis carinii. This micro-organism is usually harmless.Such incidents are common among people with impaired immune pneumonic syndromes or even in many leukemia patients. This form of pneumonia is the primary cause of death among people who are ill with AIDS) (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS.
Chlamydia pneumoniae: Chlamydia pneumoniae is a contagious disease of the number of bacteria causes chlamydia. Chlamydia pneumoniae affects the upper respiratory tract. Chlamydia pneumoniae infections can also strikeBronchitis, pneumonia, and pharyngitis. Chlamydia pneumoniae may also cause heart attacks and coronary heart disease. In addition to Chlamydia pneumoniae, are the two other species of Chlamydia Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia trachomatis.
The second major cause of death in U.S.
Chlamydia pneumoniae is as the second leading cause of pneumonia identified in the United States. Anyone aged between five and 35 years may be affected by Chlamydia pneumoniae. The Chlamydia pneumoniae Boutsare usually mild. The Chlamydia pneumoniae symptoms are fever and cough. Sometimes there may be more sputum. Sputum is a mixture of mucus and saliva. It is clear from the airways.
Chlamydia pneumoniae SYMPTOMS
The Chlamydia pneumoniae symptoms may not be very visible at first. Chlamydia pneumoniae, or sometimes the character can also point to the other forms of Chlamydia dysfunctions. One type is the type of chlamydia disease, caused by severalTrachomatis strains of the species. Another severe type of chlamydia disease is from a strain of fly-borne Chlamydia trachomatis causes.
DIAGNOSIS Chlamydia pneumoniae
To diagnose Chlamydia pneumoniae infection, patients are usually subjected to various tests. These include cell cultures that exclude other diseases with similar symptoms. The other diseases with similar symptoms are candidiasis, trichomoniasis, herpes and gonorrhea. The modern methods of diagnosisChlamydia infections are immunoassays blood tests. These examinations pinpoint the specific antibody that may have been constituted by the patient’s immune system against chlamydia infection.
In 1939, major advances were made in pneumonia therapy. Their wider application lowered pneumonia from the third to the fifth leading cause of death in the USA.
TREATING PNEUMONIA
More often than not, antibiotics effectively deal with the majority forms of bacterial pneumonia. For Patients over 50 years, and for those who are among the most urgent types of pneumococci, doctors generally recommend a vaccine. In addition, it also granted the people, the immunity against these virulent pneumonia States. The vaccine is given as a further measure to have given a patient's immunity, chronic liver, lung or heart disease.
