Most cases (70% to 80%) are acquired in the community, not in a hospital or nursing home, and develop in people over age 60 or in people who have an underlying medical condition. This topic focuses on pneumonia that is acquired in the community, not in a health care setting. Pneumonia can develop in healthy younger people during the winter months, causing a mild illness with recovery in 2 to 3 weeks. Pneumonia also may occur after a viral respiratory illness; in these cases, bacteria may cause the infection, which can be severe. Recovery may take 6 to 8 weeks or longer.

What is bacterial pneumonia? Bacterial pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that involves the small air sacs or alveoli and the tissues around them. Learn about it! An infection of the lungs that involves the small air sacs or alveoli and the tissues around them is known as pneumonia. Over two million people are known to develop this infection each year with between 40,000 to 70,000 pneumonia related deaths per year. Recent studies have shown there are an increasing number of bacteria developing which cause pneumonia that are antibiotic resistant making this the sixth most common cause of death over all. The term pneumonia covers a variety of illness with each being caused by a different microscopic organism. In most cases the organisms are inhaled through the lungs but they can also be carried to the lungs in the blood stream or migrate from other infections close to the lungs. bodyOffer(17662) Certain factors make some people more susceptible to pneumonia such as smoking, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure and alcoholism. Also at risk are infants, the elderly and people with drug suppressed immune systems such as cancer patients or organ transplant patients, those who are bedridden, paralyzed or unconscious and anyone who has an impaired immune system such as those with AIDS. The symptoms of pneumonia in most cases include a shortness of breath, fever, chills, a cough that will produce a yellow green phlegm and sometimes blood and a chest pain that is usually more painful when inhaling. The chest pain in many cases is caused by what is known as pleurisy which is an inflammation of the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity. There can also be complications of fluid around the lungs which is known as pleural effusion, empyema which is pus in the pleural cavity and occasionally an abscess in the lungs.

Specific Educational Objectives The student should be able to: 1. describe the differences between the various syndromes. Know the most common causes of the various clinical syndromes and what persons are more likely to get these infections. 2. describe any peculiar signs or symptoms and identify etiological agent that causes them (bulging fissure, currant jelly sputum, pneumatoceles). Reading: Mosby's Color Atlas and Text of Infectious Diseases by Christopher P. Conlon and David R. Snydman. pp. 67-76. Lecture : Dr. Neal R. Chamberlain References: Since a large number of organisms can produce pneumonia, a physician can often arrive at a more rapid microbiological diagnosis if the pathogens are grouped as causes of one of several, relatively distinct syndromes. The following syndromes we will discuss are as follows: A. Typical Pneumonia Syndrome

LATEST STORIES 'Atypical pneumonia' kills two in China Authorities in China say a man and his wife have died in Beijing from 'atypical pneumonia'. However, our China correspondent John Taylor says the deaths have not been linked at this stage to a mystery respiratory disease epidemic affecting people around the world. More than 500 people worldwide are believed to be affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Six people have died from it in Canada, Vietnam and Hong Kong, and seven other deaths are being investigated. Health officials suspect the syndrome caused five deaths last month in China's southern Guangdong province, where it may have originated. Hong Kong researchers recently announced they may have identified the cause of the illness after isolating a virus from a known family of viruses, the paramyxoviridae family. Dean of the Chinese University's faculty of medicine, Sydney Chung Sheung-chee, says it is an important finding that shows the antiviral treatment being administered to patients is the right choice.

Return to Communicable Disease Home Page From the ... What's New Pneumococcal Disease (Includes pneumococcal pneumonia, pneumococcal meningitis and pneumococcal bacteremia) What is pneumococcal disease? Pneumococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus. It may cause pneumonia, meningitis or a blood stream infection (bacteremia). Who gets pneumococcal disease? Although anyone can get pneumococcal disease, it occurs more frequently in infants, young children, African Americans, some Native American populations, the elderly or in people with serious underlying medical conditions such as chronic lung, heart or kidney disease. Others at risk include alcoholics, diabetics, people with weakened immune systems and those without a spleen. How is the disease transmitted? The pneumococcus is spread by airborne or direct exposure to respiratory droplets from a person who is infected or carrying the bacteria? When does pneumococcal disease occur? Infections occur most often during the winter and early spring when respiratory illnesses are more common. How soon after exposure do symptoms occur?

PNEUMONIA What is pneumonia? Pneumonia refers to an infection of the lung. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other organisms. Infectious pneumonia usually is spread by inhalation of infected particles or by aspiration ("swallowing" into the lungs). It rarely can spread through the blood stream from another infected area of the body. Typical respiratory symptoms of pneumonia include cough (with or without mucus), chest pain, rapid breathing, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms of pneumonia include fever, sweats, headache, and weakness. Some people may be at a higher risk of developing pneumonias. These people include diabetics, alcoholics, immunosuppressed individuals (which can occur with steroid use), and the elderly. How is pneumonia diagnosed? To diagnose pneumonia, the doctor begins with a medical history and physical examination. Bacterial pneumonias often have a sudden onset, creating a sporadic cough with mucus production (often colored or "rusty"), and fever (often with chills), and pain along the chest wall. Infections caused by mycoplasma and viruses typically develop more slowly (often after a few days of flu-like symptoms) and can create a hacky or barky cough, a headache, and pain under the breastbone. The doctor may order several tests to help diagnose the pneumonia. Chest x-rays are examined for signs of infection in the lungs. Often, different types of pneumonia will have different patterns on the x-ray. Blood and sputum tests may be done to collect a specimen if the doctor needs to determine the organism causing the pneumonia. Furthermore, a biopsy ( taking a lung tissue sample via needle, tube, or surgery) may be done in more severe cases.)
