slide2. INTRODUCTION It is an inflammatory condition of the lung that is caused by a microbial agent.
Pneumonitis is a general term that describes an inflammatory process in the lung tissue that may predispose a patient to or place a patient at risk for microbial invasion.
It is the leading cause of death from the infectious disease.<br>
slide3. definition An inflammation of the lung parenchyma is known as pneumonia.
Pneumonia is mainly caused by microorganism which enter the lower respiratory system and cause infection. The microorganism includes bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.<br>
slide4. epidemiology Common illness affecting approximately 450 million people a year occuring in all part of the world, 4 million death yearly.
Rates are greater in children less than five years and adult older than 75 years.
It occurs five times more in the developing world than in the developed world.<br>
slide5. etiology There are many causes of pneumonia including bacteria, viruses, fungal agent and protozoa.
It may also result from
Inhalation of toxic agents
Smoke
Dust
Aspiration of food
Fluid
vomitus<br>
slide6. Types of pneumonia Based on anatomical classification
-Lobar pneumonia- affecting the whole of one lobe.
-Bronchopneumonia- affecting the lobules and bronchi.
Based on Aetiological classification:
Community accquired pneumonia
Hospital accquired pneumonia
Aspiration pneumonia<br>
