Only non-communicable dz w/increasing mortality
4th leading cause of death in US
Death rate increasing in elderly men
>120,000 deaths annually
COPD
-mostly in young children
-globally, the MC cause of acute lower respiratory infection
-common cause of morbidity and mortality at the extremes of age
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)
most commonly found in central and eastern US, east Canada, mexico, central america, south america, Africa and southeast asia.
inhalation of histoplasma capsulatum from contaminated bat droppings
Histoplasmosis
MC in caucasians
MC fatal autosomal recessive disease among Caucasian populations
Cystic fibrosis
-bacterial pneumonia and cancer are the MC causes
-reduced lymphatic drainage
Exudative pleural effusion
-imbalance between hydrostatic/oncotic forces
-increase in hydrostatic pressure w/CHF
-decreased oncotic pressure w/hypoalbuminemia
Transudative pleural effusion
-CHF accounts for most......... cases
Transudative pleural effusion
the most common cause of pleural effusion
congestive heart failure
Most common in thin, tall young men
Pneumothorax
Caused by barotrauma to the lungs, a penetrating chest wound or can occur spontaneously
Pneumothorax
Occurs after working in a shipyard, in construction, as a pipe-fitter or an insulator for at least 10-20 years
Asbestosis
Extensive or prolonged inhalation of free silica particles
Silicosis
what age are most children immune to RSV ?
2 years
What is the "peak" age that children are infected with RSV?
2 months
Infection of the small airways that is usually caused by a virus. It involves bronchiole epithelial cell death, sloughing of these cells, and increased mucus production.
RSV
If a patient is over 2 years old and exhibiting sx of bronchiolitis what are the most likely pathogens?
-humanmetapneumovirus
-parainfluenza virus
ingestion of ihaled coal dust by alveolar macrophages that leads to the formation of coal macules
Coal Worker's Pneumoconiosis
chronic fibrotic lung disease caused by the inhalation of inorganic dust.
Pneumoconiosis
The most common diagnosis among patients with interstitial lung disease
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
What is idiopathic interstitial pneumonia?
A group of diseases with several similar histologic patterns
disease that is caused by a mutation on chromosome 7 that encodes for CFTR protein, a complex chloride channel found in all exocrine tissues
Cystic Fibrosis
What is the primary reason for hospitalization in cystic fibrosis?
pulmonary manifestations and exacerbations
What pathogens are primarily responsible for colonizing the airways and creating problems for patients with cystic fibrosis?
-staph aureus and Haemophilus during childhood
-pseudomonas
Occurs when loss of normal pharyngeal muscle tone allows the pharynx to collapse during inspiration, and upper airway obstruction
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Risk factors include:
- anatomically narrowed upper airways
- ingestion of alcohol or sedatives before sleeping
- nasal obstruction
- hyperthyroidism
- cigarette smoking
- obese, middle aged man
Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Structural abnormality characterized by abnormal dilation and distortion of the bronchial trees
What two factors are required for the induction of bronchiectasis?
1. An infectious insult
2. Impaired drainage, airway obstruction or a defect in host defense
What can disorders can lead to bronchiectasis?
