Anaerobic Disease of the Lung

Clinical relevance of necrotizing change in patients with community‐acquired pneumonia

“…The aetiology of NP has not been previously studied in a large patient cohort. Classically, anaerobes were considered to be among the more important pathogens, and were believed to cause a spectrum of aspiration syndromes, including aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess and empyema . Pleural fluid and transthoracic needle aspirates are the only sources of specimens currently available for obtaining meaningful anaerobic cultures from patients with NP .…”

“…and J.‐K.L) independently reviewed the CT scan images of all patients for the presence of necrotizing changes. NP was defined as consolidation with multiple areas of non‐enhancement without rim enhancement on contrast‐enhanced CT scan in one or more pulmonary segments or lobes . Patients without an available enhanced CT scan at presentation were excluded.…”

“…NP was defined as consolidation with multiple areas of non-enhancement without rim enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT scan in one or more pulmonary segments or lobes. 10,11 Patients without an available enhanced CT scan at presentation were excluded. Patients were allocated into NP or non-NP group, based on the presence or absence of necrotizing changes.…”

Lung Cancer And Infectıons

“…Obstruktif pnömonilerde; oral florada yerleşik anaerob (Bacteriodes, Prevotella, Fusobacterium, Actinomyces, microaerofilic streptococci) türleri, S. Pneumoniae, H. İnfluenzae, S.aureus, ve Enterobacteriaciae gibi bakteriler özellikle kronik hastalarda karşımıza çıkarlar (17). Pseudomonas ve metisilline rezistan S.aureus 'un prevalansı da giderek artmaktadır.…”

Аспирационная Пневмония: Современные Подходы К Диагностике И Терапии

“…В соответствии с современной классифи кацией аспирационную пневмонию выделяют в осо бый класс [8]. Данный термин не является идеально точным, ведется дискуссия о целесообразности его использования, предлагается другие варианты, напри мер "анаэробная пневмония" [9,10]. Однако, несмо тря на то, что анаэробы действительно являются наиболее частыми причинными факторами аспира ционной пневмонии [11,12], в ее генезе могут быть задействованы и аэробные микроорганизмы [1].…”
