PNEUMONIA - Simple Notes for 10 Marks

Note: "Harsh Mohan's Textbook of Pathology" is not in the library, but the notes below are drawn from Robbins, Cotran & Kumar - Pathologic Basis of Disease, which covers identical content and is the standard companion to Harsh Mohan.

1. DEFINITION

Pneumonia = any infection/inflammation of the lung parenchyma. Accounts for ~2.3% of all deaths.

2. CLASSIFICATION

TypeKey Feature
Community-Acquired (CAP)Healthy individuals from normal environment
Hospital-Acquired (Nosocomial)Acquired >48 hrs after hospital admission
Healthcare-AssociatedRecent hospitalization, nursing home, IV antibiotics (90 days)
Aspiration PneumoniaAspiration of gastric/oropharyngeal contents
Lobar PneumoniaEntire lobe consolidation (usually pneumococcal)
BronchopneumoniaPatchy consolidation; multilobar, bilateral, basal
Atypical/Viral PneumoniaInterstitial pattern; Mycoplasma, viruses

3. ETIOLOGY

  • MC cause of CAP: Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus)
  • H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis - COPD exacerbations
  • S. aureus - secondary to influenza/measles; IV drug users
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae - chronic alcoholics; currant jelly sputum
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa - cystic fibrosis, neutropenia
  • Legionella pneumophila - water cooling towers; transplant patients
  • Mycoplasma pneumoniae - children/young adults; schools, military
  • Hospital-acquired: MRSA, Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae

4. PATHOGENESIS - Defense Mechanisms Impaired

  1. Loss of cough reflex (coma, anesthesia, drugs)
  2. Dysfunction of mucociliary apparatus (smoking, viral infection)
  3. Accumulation of secretions (cystic fibrosis)
  4. Impaired macrophage function (alcohol, tobacco, anoxia)
  5. Pulmonary congestion and edema
  6. Defects in innate/humoral immunity โ†’ pyogenic bacteria
  7. Cell-mediated immune defects โ†’ Mycobacteria, P. jirovecii

5. MORPHOLOGY

A. Lobar Pneumonia - 4 Classical Stages

StageGrossMicroscopy
1. CongestionHeavy, boggy, red lungVascular engorgement, edema fluid, few neutrophils, bacteria
2. Red HepatizationRed, firm, airless - liver-likeAlveoli packed with neutrophils, RBCs, fibrin
3. Gray HepatizationGrayish-brownDisintegration of RBCs; fibrinopurulent exudate
4. ResolutionReturns to normalEnzymatic digestion โ†’ debris resorbed/expectorated/phagocytosed

B. Bronchopneumonia

  • Patchy consolidation; multilobar, bilateral, basal predominance
  • Gross: elevated, dry, granular, gray-red/yellow, poorly delimited
  • Histology: neutrophil-rich exudate in bronchi + bronchioles + adjacent alveoli

C. Viral/Atypical Pneumonia

  • Interstitial inflammation (alveolar walls) - lymphocytic, NOT neutrophilic
  • Alveolar spaces relatively free of exudate
  • Hyaline membranes in severe cases

6. CLINICAL FEATURES

FeatureBacterialViral/Atypical
OnsetAbruptGradual
FeverHigh + shaking chillsLow-grade + headache/myalgia
CoughProductive (mucopurulent)Dry, non-productive
Chest painPleuritic pain + friction rubUsually absent
X-rayLobar opacification / focal opacitiesBilateral interstitial infiltrates

7. COMPLICATIONS (Mnemonic: SEAL)

  1. Suppurative arthritis / bacteremic dissemination (endocarditis, meningitis)
  2. Empyema - spread to pleural cavity โ†’ fibrinopurulent pleuritis
  3. Abscess (lung) - tissue necrosis (esp. pneumococcal, Klebsiella)
  4. Leptomeningitis - meningitis from hematogenous spread

8. HIGH-YIELD EXAM POINTS

  • "Flu condemns, additional infection executes" - viral pneumonia predisposes to fatal bacterial superinfection
  • Rusty sputum = pneumococcal; Currant jelly sputum = Klebsiella
  • Legionella diagnosed by: urine antigen test (rapid); culture = gold standard (3-5 days)
  • <10% of hospitalized pneumonia patients now die with appropriate antibiotics
  • Treatment response expected in 48-72 hours after antibiotics
