Pneumonia in a child is an acute infectious disease, mainly of bacterial nature, characterized by focal lesions of the respiratory parts of the lungs and the presence of respiratory disorders and intraalveolar exudation, as well as infiltrative changes in the lung radiographs.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism, which is one of the frequent pathogens of hospital pneumonia. Most often, this pneumonia develops in patients with burns, purulent wounds, urinary tract infections, in the postoperative period, in patients who underwent severe heart and lung operations.
Currently, more than 30 species of legionella are described, 19 of them cause the development of pneumonia in humans. The most common is Legionella pneumophila. Legionella pneumophila was first isolated in 1977. The name was given to this microorganism by the name of the American Legion, among participants of the conference, an epidemic of pneumonia broke out.
Infections caused by Chl. Pneumoniae, are widespread. At the age of 20, specific antibodies to Chl. Pneumoniae are found in half of the examined, with an increase in age - in 80% of men and 70% of women.
Haemophilus Influenzae (haemophilus bacterium Afanasyev-Pfeifer) is a frequent causative agent of out-of-hospital pneumonia. Hemophilus influenza often lives on the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, it can penetrate into the lower parts of the respiratory tract and cause exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.
Inflammation of the lungs (synonym: pneumonia) is an inflammatory process of the lung tissue that affects the entire respiratory system. As shown by statistics, a considerable number of people who do not have the necessary knowledge share the concepts of "pneumonia" and "pneumonia", whereas, in fact, they mean the same disease.
Pneumomediastinum is the presence of air in the mediastinum. The three main causes of pneumomediastinum are a rupture of the alveoli with a breakthrough of air into the mediastinum, perforation of the esophagus and rupture of the stomach or intestine with the breakthrough of air from the neck or from the abdominal cavity to the mediastinum.
Pneumocystosis (pneumocystosis, pneumocystis pneumonia) is an opportunistic infectious disease caused by Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii), characterized by the development of pneumocystis pneumonia. In connection with the possible defeat of other organs and systems, the term "pneumocystosis" is more justified.
Pneumoconiosis (from the Greek pneumon - lung, conis - dust) is the reaction of the lung tissue to the accumulation of dust in it. Aggressive dust particles can stimulate the formation of connective tissue in the pulmonary parenchyma.
Pneumoconiosis of workers in the coal industry (anthracosis, black lung disease, pneumoconiosis of miners)) are caused by inhalation of coal dust. The deposition of dust leads to the accumulation of dusts overloaded by macrophages around bronchioles (coal maculae), sometimes causing central bronchiolar emphysema.
Str.pneumomae is the most frequent causative agent of pneumonia. About 5-25% of healthy people are carriers of pneumococcus, especially in children.
In addition to inflammation of the lungs and pleura, middle ear and paranasal sinuses, soft tissues and joints, pneumococcal infection can cause an inflammatory process in the meninges - pneumococcal meningitis.
Pneumococcal infections - a group of diseases of bacterial etiology, clinically manifested pyoinflammatory changes in various organs and systems, but especially in the lungs of the type of croupous pneumonia and in the central nervous system by the type of purulent meningitis.
Pneumococcal infection - anthroponous disease with airborne droplet transmission of the pathogen, is characterized by the most frequent lesion of ENT organs, lungs and central nervous system.
The Plummer-Vinson syndrome is characterized by atrophy of the oral mucosa, pharynx and esophagus and is manifested by a variety of systemic signs: swallowing disorder, dysphagia, burning sensation in the tongue
Shoulder and lumbosacral pleksopatii lead to painful sensorimotor damage to the corresponding limb.
Pleurisy is an inflammation of the pleural leaves with the formation of fibrin on their surface (dry, fibrinous pleurisy) or accumulation in the pleural cavity of various exudates (exudative pleurisy).
Pleural fibrosis and calcification are usually benign complications of pleural inflammation or asbestos exposure. Pleural fibrosis and calcification may be post-inflammatory or associated with exposure to asbestos.
Pleural effusion is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. The reasons for effusions can be very diverse, so they are usually classified as transudates or exudates. Identify in the physical examination and radiography of chest organs; Puncture of the pleural cavity with subsequent study of the pleural fluid often allows you to determine the cause of the effusion.
Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland (benign mixed-cell tumor) is the most common epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland, which originates from ducts, stroma and musculo-epithelial elements.
