Acute Pneumonia

Abstract: Acute pneumonia is an active infection of the lungs that results when an individual at risk gets exposed to a particular microbiological pathogen. Acute pneumonia is the leading cause of death in the United States that is attributable to an infection. The risk factors, pathogenesis, and microbiological organisms involved differ if the pneumonia develops in the community versus health care-associated environment. The development of concise and comprehensive guidelines has led to an improvement in the management… Show more

“…El sistema de defensa de la vía aérea es muy efectivo, ya que existen barreras mecánicas y anatómicas, así como inmunidad celular y humoral, que la mantiene estéril (1,2,3). El mecanismo fisiopatológico de la NAC comienza cuando el sistema de defensa pulmonar es sobrepasado por microrganismos patógenos, los cuales se depositan en la superficie alveolar (2).…”

“…El mecanismo fisiopatológico de la NAC comienza cuando el sistema de defensa pulmonar es sobrepasado por microrganismos patógenos, los cuales se depositan en la superficie alveolar (2). Factores genéticos, como deficiencias particulares del sistema de defensa, o medioambientales, como el tabaquismo y el alcoholismo, pueden deteriorar la funcionalidad del sistema y facilitar la aparición de una neumonía (3,4).…”
