Intro: Respiratory Tract Infections
• Community acquired pneumonia is common– 5.6 million people (est.) annually in US resulting in 1.3
million hospital admissions per year– And in those over age 65, the number one cause of
death from infectious diseases
• Nosocomial (hospital acquired) pneumonia is the leading cause of death from infection in US hospitals; its occurrence prolongs hospital stays about 8 days

Rhinoviruses• 60% of common colds due to rhinoviruses: other
causes = coronavirus 15% (also is agent of SARS*), influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, & enterovirus (1-10% of colds)
• Rhinoviruses: picornavirus family (small RNA viruses with single stranded RNA genome)
• Rhinovirus binds intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) on respiratory epithelial cells & induces mucus secretion via bradykinin release

Enterovirus 68
• Close relative to Rhinoviruses
• Clusters in U.S. since 1960s- this summer hundreds of new cases
• “enterovirus season” in late summer
• Children <5; asthma
• Supportive treatment
• We ID rhinovirus/enterovirus- typing at St. Bd. Or CDC

7
Influenza Viruses• Single-stranded RNA
• Types A, B, or C
• Subtypes (H1 - H3: N1 or N2) determined by viral hemagglutinin & neuraminidase in lipid envelope– eg., H3N2
• Viruses are spread person to person by airborne droplets or contact with contaminated hands or surfaces
![Page 8: Respiratory Infections T. Davis 9-22-2014. 2 OBJECTIVES Discuss the pathogenesis of specific respiratory infections Describe the pathologic features of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94afe904/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Influenza Viruses• Epidemics through mutations of hemagglutinin (H)
& neuraminidase (N) that allow virus to escape host antibodies– Antigenic drift: minor antigenic change due to point
mutations– Antigenic shift: major antigenic change (both H and N
replaced) due to genetic reassortment between animal & human influenza A viruses (but not B or C)
• Pandemics due to novel influenza viruses: 1918, 1947, 1957, 1968, 1968, 1977, and 2009 – 1918 Spanish flu killed 20-40 million world wide
![Page 9: Respiratory Infections T. Davis 9-22-2014. 2 OBJECTIVES Discuss the pathogenesis of specific respiratory infections Describe the pathologic features of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94afe904/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Influenza: More Characteristics
• Clearance of infection - occurs when cytotoxic T cells kill virus-infected cells
• Host antibodies to H and N prevent future infection with that specific virus
![Page 10: Respiratory Infections T. Davis 9-22-2014. 2 OBJECTIVES Discuss the pathogenesis of specific respiratory infections Describe the pathologic features of](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e155503460f94afe904/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Influenza: More Characteristics• Lab dx: swab of nasopharynx, throat swab, combined
nose/throat swab, nasal washes, or bronchial lavages– virus isolation/culture – gold standard but takes 3-7 d– viral Ag detection by direct FA (fluorescent antibody); – multiplex RT-PCR (reverse transcription PCR); more sensitive;
but slower than FA; takes overnight– Rapid Ag point-of-care tests are the least sensitive/false negs;
takes 15 min
• Rx: Tamiflu (oestelamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir) effective in 1st 24-48h vs influenza A (neuraminidase inhibitors of both influenza A & B)

Routes By Which Bacteria Get Into Lungs
• #1 is Aspiration of contaminated oropharyngeal contents(e.g. pneumococci, GNRs, anaerobes)
• Inhalation (M. tuberculosis, Legionella, plague)
• Bacteremia

Lobar pneumonia• Diffusely involves large portion of lobe or entire lobe
of lung• Encapsulated bacteria spread alveolus-to-alveolus
through pores of Köhn• Most common cause = pneumococcus
(Streptococcus pneumoniae), but occas. Klebsiella pneumoniae, staphylococci, streptococci, H. influenzae

• Organizing pneumonia (leaves residual fibrosis)
• Bacteremia and sepsis
• Infarct

Laboratory Diagnosis of Pneumonia
• Sputum specimen collected and sent to lab
• Direct smears for Gram stain
• Specimen cultured on various media

Diagnosis of Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae
– Gram-stained sputum containing many neutrophils and typical gram-positive, lancet-shaped diplococci supports diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia; alpha-hemolytic colonies
– But remember, S. pneumonia is part of oropharyngeal microbiota in 20% of adults
– Its isolation from blood cultures is more specific but less sensitive than sputum culture; only 25-30% of patients have positive blood cultures

Staphylococcal InfectionsStaphylococcal InfectionsStaphylococcus aureus• Gram-positive cocci;
grape-like clusters• catalase and coagulase• Acute (“pyogenic”)
inflammation, often with abscesses
• Abscess def: “localized collection of pus in a cavity formed by disintegration of tissues”

Pathogenesis:Pathogenesis: What Makes What Makes S. aureus S. aureus So Virulent?So Virulent?
• Catalase. H2O2 to H2O probably counteracts PMN killing by splitting toxic oxygen radicals
• Coagulase. Converts fibrinogen to fibrin (?? WBCs penetrate fibrin poorly??)
• Hyaluronidase. Hydrolyses connective tissue matrix -lactamases. Hydrolyse -lactam antibiotics • Leukocidin. Makes pores in membranes of PMNs (eg.,
Panton-Valentine leukocidin [PVL])• Methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA)- mecA gene codes for
changes in cell wall proteins (PBPs)

Staphylococcus aureus virulence factors continued
• Toxic Shock; was originally associated with hyperabsorpent tampons that became colonized with S. aureus during use; TSS can also be caused by S. aureus in infected surgical sites. – hypotension (shock), renal failure, coagulopathy, liver
disease, respiratory distress, generalized erythematous rash, & localized tissue necrosis
– Note: TSS can also be caused by Streptococcus pyogenes• Food poisoning; Superantigens produced by S. aureus
also cause vomiting• **food poison in 4 hours: S. aureus or Bacillus
cereus

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Healthcare-Associated (HA-MRSA): HIGHLY
RESISTANT (all beta-lactams & multiple other antimicrobials)!
Nursing Homes,Nosocomial Requires isolation of patients 50-60% of hospital SA
Community-Associated (CA-MRSA): often resistant to
only beta-lactam agents & erythromycin; treat with Septra, Clindamycin
CA-MRSA have become the most frequent cause of skin & soft tissue infections
75-90% of community SA

Usual Sequence for Severely Ill Patients with Suspected Bacterial
Meningitis• Stat empiric antibiotics (e. g., if 2-50 yo,
vancomycin + ceftriaxone or cefotaxime)
• CT scan if needed
• Lumbar puncture (LP)
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): typical results OP >30 cm (nl <17 cm), WBC >500 cells/ml with >80% neutrophils, glucose <40 mg/dL (or <2/3 plasma), & protein >200 mg/dL; gram stain usually shows bacteria

Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
• Epidemiology: kills > 3 million per year; #1 cause of death worldwide due to any infectious agent
• Acid-fast bacilli – red with blue background
• Slow-growing aerobes (14-28 days!)
• Spread mostly by aerosolized droplets
• Can involve virtually every organ, most importantly lungs
• Typically associated with granuloma formation

Cell Wall Virulence Factors• Cord Factor: glycolipid that causes TB to grow in
serpentine cords– more virulent strains
• Lipoarabinomannan (LAM): polysaccharide similar to endotoxin– inhibits macrophage activation by interferon-– also induces macrophages to secrete
TNF- (causes fever, weight loss & tissue damage),
& IL-10 which suppresses T-cell proliferation

Primary Tuberculosis (1st infection with TB - no prior
exposure)

T-Cells in Tuberculosis• CD4+ helper T cells secrete interferon-
gamma, which activates macrophages to kill intracellular TB via reactive nitrogen intermediates (NO, NO2) and is associated with epithelioid cell granuloma formation and removal of TB
• CD8+ suppressor T cells kill macrophages that are infected with TB, resulting in formation of caseating granulomas (delayed-type hypersensitivity rxns)
