What is Pneumonia?
Pneumonia (pneumonia) is inflammation of lung tissue.
Parapneumonic effusion definition
The collection of fluid between the lung membranes of bacterial pneumonia 'parapneumonic effusion' is called.
What are the factors and transmission routes of pneumonia?
Causing pneumonia germs (viruses, bacteria and fungi such as species) are many and varied. Some of the germs of pneumonia caused by certain age groups are more common.
Germs that cause pneumonia or sneeze of an infected person coughs droplets containing the germs spread into the air with the arrival of a healthy person's nose and throat is transmitted.
What are the symptoms of the disease?
Rapid breathing, fever, dry or nonproductive cough, the main symptoms of pneumonia. Chest pain, chest recession (retractions), nose, wings, breathing participate, air hunger, reduction in respiratory movements, heart rate acceleration, feeding difficulty, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, convulsions (to have a fit), lethargy visible manifestations of pneumonia. The symptoms vary depending on the patient's age and lung disease in newborn infants with pneumonia may not be seen with some of the findings.
Pneumonia is diagnosed?
Only be diagnosed by the physician's examination findings, diagnosis of pneumonia. Chest radiographs of the prevalence of the disease, whether liquid or air between the lung membranes, whether air cysts in the lung tissue, lung abscess or lung aeration extinguished areas in terms of whether there is a huge benefit show. If necessary, the lungs are examined with ultrasonography and computed tomography.
What is the treatment?
Antibiotic treatment of patients with bacterial pneumonia are considered. Young infants with pneumonia, those with heart failure, fluid or air between the lung membranes gathered, cysts and abscesses of the lung air ones, those fields are dormant in the lungs, an important underlying disease, those with poor immune systems should be hospitalized for treatment. The patient's breathing is not enough, give oxygen or respiratory device should be connected. Collection of fluid between the lung membranes, creating pressure on the lungs can lead to respiratory distress in children. The amount of fluid between the lung membranes increased with increasing respiratory distress even create life-threatening for children. This is taken out of the fluid with a needle (thoracentesis), may reduce the child's respiratory distress, and microbiological and biochemical methods and the examination of the fluid that causes fluid to collect konulmasına can help diagnose the disease. Between the amount of air is more intense inflammation of the membranes of lung or chest tube must be inserted. The patient's fluid and electrolyte needs are met, the appropriate way to continue the feeding, if any, of the underlying disease and the treatment of heart failure at least as important as antibiotic therapy.
How the disease may result?
Pneumonia may resolve completely with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. However, especially when the delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients with respiratory failure and shock may be lost. Those with a very common disease, lung fluid or air between the membranes of the hit, those with lung abscess or lung fields extinct-aeration membrane adhesion in lung, lung tissue damage can be seen as undesirable consequences.
