This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: testing, Dx Spores are in the sputum and you can differentiate from other fungals, Mycoplasma Pneumonia Clinical presentation, Pneumococcal Pneumonia **rusty = pneumococcal pneumonia lancet shaped diploccoci G (+), Sputum Culture examination - hard to get - negative doesn't mean not there, Clinical presentation Assosication with this infection with athleroscleritic disease of coronary arteries = formation of plaque (inflammatory process), Histoplasma Capsulatum epidemiology (sources, geography), presentation (similarities/differences re: bacterial disease and related fungal dx) With decreased immunity resembles bacterial pneuomia – prductive cough, chest pain, strep pneumonia Gram + Dipplococci Encapsulated IgA Protease, Mycoplasma Pneumonia Tx, Sputum - dark red - "currant-jelly" blood + fluids + encapsulated bacteria klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia, epidemiology Inhaled - in alveoli, transforms into a spherule - Spherules = coxitiostis wall structure that contains hundred to thousands of spores, Viral pneumonia gradual onset less severe symptoms fever dry cough headache muscle pain agents influenza A adeno virus RSV, presentation (similarities/differences re: bacterial disease and related fungal dx) chronic illness simulating TB and lung cancer (bloody sputum, weight loss), Legionella Pneumophila Tx, Histoplasma Capsulatum Dx, 90-100 different types of capsules! so we Pick the most prevelent capsule types, Sputum Culture examination Sputum - rusty - alveolar involvement, Bacterial pneumonia Consolidation, epidemiology (geographic pattern) Mississippi area, Legionella Pneumophila Dx
