| Acute bronchitis is usually self-limiting? | True |
| _____% of acute bronchitis is viral | 90% |

| percussion of AB? | negative egophony, bronchophony, tactile fremitus |
| when do you do labs for AB? | ONLY IF dx is not clear. |
| CBC: if elevated WBC w/ "left shift" think ___ ____ | bacterial pneumonia |
| tx for AB? | tx symptoms, smoking cessation, good hydration, NSAIDs, pt edu, f/u |
| GOLD standard for dx of pneumo? | CXR |
| pneumonia presents when? | aspiration of contaminated secretions, inhalation of microorganisms, hematogenous spread |
| pneumo: the inflammatory exudate fills _______ and causes decrease in ventilation causing ________ | alveoli, hypoxemia |
| difference between CAP and nosocomial pneumo | CAP: outpt, or w/in 48hrs of hospital admission NP: >48hrs post-hospital admission, nursing home, long-term care facilities |
| CAP: bacterial accounts for ___% | 90 |
| bacterial agents in CAP | strep pneumo (#1), mycoplasma, chlamydia, |
| CAP RFs | >65yo, alcoholism, tobacco use |
| co-morbid medical conditions of CAP | Asthma, COPD, cerebrovascular dz, chronic renal failure, DM, liver dz, CA, immunosuppression |
| PE of CAP | dull percussion, increased tactile fremitus, egophony suggest consolidation. crackles (rales) suggest interstitial infiltrates |
| what does the urinary antigen test test for? | S pneumo, Legionella, |
| when would you order a urinary antigen test for S. pneumo? | leukopenia, asplenia, active alcohol use, chronic severe liver dz, pleural effusion, and those requiring ICU admission |
| when would you order a urinary antigen test for Legionella? | active alcohol use, travel w/in 2wks, pleural effusion, ICU admission |
| CAP Tx: CURB65 | confusion, uremia, respiratory rate, BP, age. (1&2: outpt, 3: middle, 4&5: hospital) |
| tx of OUTPT CAP for previously healthy pt w/ no recent abx (90d) | macrolide (azithro, clarithro) OR doxycycline (weaker evidence) |
| tx of OUTPT CAP for pt at risk for drug resistance (>65yo, comorbid illness, exposure to child in daycare, immunosuppression, abx use in last 90d) | resp. fluoroquinolone (moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, gemifloxacin) OR macrolide PLUS B-lactam (amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate) |
| tx of INPT CAP (non-intensive care unit) | resp. fluoroquinolone or macrolide + B-lactam |
| tx of INPT CAP (intensive care) | azithro OR resp fluoroquinolone PLUS antipneumococcal B-lactam |
| indications for Polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine | >65yo, presence of any chronic illness that increases risk of dz |
| dosage of polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine | immunocompromised pts: revaccinate 6yrs after 1st vaccination immunocompetent: 2nd dose if 1st dose >6yrs previously & was under 65yrs at that time |
| fungal pneumonias? | pneumocystosis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, coccidioidomycosis |
| endemic pathogens? where found? | histoplasmosis (mississippi river valley and ohio river valley) and coccidioidomycosis (southwest US) |
| opportunistic pathogen? | cryptococcus |
| possible extrapulmonary findings of fungal pneumo? | meningitis (stiff neck, HA, mental status change), skin lesions, rhematologic and allergic findings |
| CXR of fungal pneumo? | patchy infiltrate, nodules, consolidation, cavitation or pleural effusion. possibly, mediastinal adenopathy (unilateral or bilateral) |
| Pneumocystos: sxs? lab? CXR? dx? tx? | sxs: fever, SOB, dry cough, fatigue, tachypnea Lab: LDH elevated CXR: diffuse interstitial and alveolar infiltrates dx: fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage is definitive tx: po Bactrim (3wks) |
| mycotic infx caused by inhaling fungus found in soil contaminated w/ bird or bat droppings | histoplasmosis |
| sxs of histoplasmosis? | asymptomatic! |
| prevention/treatment of histoplasmosis? | prevention: itraconazole daily in AIDS-related tx: mild: itraconazole orally up to several months severe: amphoterecin B |
| most common cause of fungal meningitis? | cryptococcosis |
| dx and tx of coccidioidomycosis? | dx: presence of anticoccidioidal antibody in serum tx: mild: fluconazole or itraconazole for 3-6mo |
| acute onset, high fever, chills, purulent or blood-tinged sputum, productive cough, pleuritic chest pain | streptococcus pneumoniae |
| PE/Labs/Tx of strep pneumoniae? | PE: signs of lobar consolidation; bronchial breath sounds Lab: often leukocytosis; rapid urinary antigen=pneumococcal tx: uncomplicated: amoxicillin 750mg BID x 7-10d |
| usually in school age children; slow onset, persistent dry cough, low fever, HA, pharyngitis, myalgia | Mycoplasma pneumonia |
| diffuse crackles, mild leukocytosis, possible patchy diffuse infiltrates, atelectasis | Mycoplasma pneumonia |
| tx of mycoplasma? | macrolide, floroquinolones, or tetracyclines |
| adolescents, college students, military; mild sore throat, hoarseness, little or no fever, scant sputum, persistent cough | chlamydia pneumonia |
| single segmental infiltrate in lower lobes | chlamydia pneumonia |
| tx of chlamydia pneumonia | doxycycline |
| older adults; smokers, chronic lung dz, immunocompromised, exposure to water source, age >50yo | Legionella pneumonia |
| HA, myalgias, malaise, mental status changes, high fever | legionella pneumonia |
| Lab/Tx of legionella? | lab: special sputum stain, Legionella urinary antigen tx: doxycycline |
| post-influenza, ETOH, MD, high fever, chest pain, purulent sputum, hemoptysis | CA staph aureus |
| Lab/CXR/Tx of CA staph aureus | Lab: blood & sputum cultures CXR: bilateral patchy infiltrates w/ pleural effusion Tx: anti-staph pcn (zithromax, azithromycin) |

| most common organisms in NP | P.aeruginosa, S. aureus, g - rods (enterobactor, K. pneumoniae, E. coli) |
| how to handle nosocomial pneumo? | get a sputum culture. tx w/ broad-spectrum abx first, then switch to sensitive abx after culture is back |
| NP should have 2 of 3 of these sxs? PLUS....? | fever, leukocytosis, purulent sputum PLUS chest radiograph abnormality (new or progressive pulmonary opacity) |
| Tx of NP | first: broad-spectrum: 2nd gen ceph (if no unusual RFs) if high risk: antipseudomonal, 2nd antipsudomonal, MRSA coverage (if indicated) |
