1
Q

Patchy exudativeconsolidation of the lung parenchyma

A

Bronchopneumonia

2
Q

Stages of pneumonia

A

Congestion
Red Hepatziation
Grey hepatization
Resolution

3
Q

Gross: lung is heavy, boggy and red
Microscopy: vascular engorgemnt, inta alveolar fluid with a few neutrophils, usually presence of numerous bacteria

A

Congestion

4
Q

Gross: lung mimics liver consistency because of consolidation
Microscopy: Congested septal capillaries and extensive neutrophilic and RBC exudation

A

Red hepatization

5
Q

Attempt at repair of damaged lung tissue
Gross: gray brown appearance (doesnt look as reddish as the previous stage)
Microscopy: RBCs disintegrate, fibrinosuppurative exudation persists. Increased deposit of fibrin -> becomes paler . Exudation through pore of khon

A

Grey hepatization

6
Q

Microscopy: granular semi-fluid debris -> (1) resorbed and ingestd by macrophages (2) expectorated, or more often (3) organized by fibroblasts growing in it

A

Resolution

7
Q

Common Isolated bacteria in children

A

Hemophilus B.

8
Q

Common isolated bacteria in adults

A

Streptococcus pneumoniae

9
Q

10
Q

Common isolated bacteria in alcoholics

11
Q

Common isolated bacteria in Elderly

A

Streptococcus, Legionella

12
Q

Inflammation breaks through the pleural surface and fills the thoracic cavity with pus

A

Empyema thoracis

13
Q

Clinically used to detrmine whether the fluid is an exudate and not a transudate

A

Light’s Criteria

14
Q

Light’s criteria

A

Effusion protein/serum protein ration >0.5
Effusion LDH/ serum LDH ration >0.6
Effusion LDH >2/3 of the reference range for LDH

15
Q

Etiologic agents that can give rise to pulmonary abscess

A

S. aureus, klebsiella, G(-) organisms), anaerobes

16
Q

Interstitium is widened with mononuclear cells present

A

Interstitial pneumonitis

17
Q

Comon viral agents causing intestitial pneumonia

A

RSV, adenovirus, rhinovirus, Rubella, Varicella, CMV, MEasles

18
Q

Cytopathic effects caused by RSV

A

Formation of multinucleated syncitial cells; sheath form; mask of cells coalesce share the same cell membrane

19
Q

cytopathic effects caused by CMV

A

huge cell with large nucleus, para-nuclear clearing (halo), and abnormal inclusions located intranuclear and intrcytoplasmic, or structural changes. Owl’s eye appearance

20
Q

cytopathic effects of measles

A

multinucleate giant cells with eosinophilic nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (Warthin finkeldey cells)

21
