    Pathophysiology and Concept Map Guide: Pneumoniae, Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Staphylococcus Aureus

    Uploaded by

    The document provides information on the pathophysiology and concept map for a case of pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (PCAP) in a 4-month old patient (Patient X). Predisposing factors for Patient X included their young age with an immature immune system and being only partially immunized. Precipitating factors included other family members having a cold. The etiology was likely bacterial based on treatment, with pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The concept map shows the process of the infection from inhalation of pathogens to immune response and bacterial proliferation in the lungs.

    ETIOLOGY

    Pneumonia occurs as result of invasion of the lower respiratory tract by a


    pathogenic organism. Viruses cause a significant percentage of CAP infections,
    especially in children younger than two years. However, this case suggests a
    bacterial infection as evidenced by the medical management carried out to the
    patient. Bacterial pathogens include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma
    pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus.
