Symptoms/signs of pneumoniaAll respiratory infections: fever, cough, Lower respiratory involvement:
respiratory distress, tachypnea, cyanosis

Type of pneumonia
Viral bacterial
History Age< 5, gradual onset, mild fever, cough, respiratory distress
Abrupt onset, high fever, severe cough, significant respiratory distress
Physical exam
Bilateral rales, high pitched breath sounds,
Focal rales
X ray infiltrates
Bilateral interstitial , peribronchiolar, parenchymal, hyperinflation
Lobar, lobular consolidation , dense parenchymal
ESR, CRP, WBC, PMN

Case 2A 7 years old girl
brought with high fever, malaise, protracted cough, mild diarrhea since 5 days ago. On PE she had bilateral fine rales without significant respiratory distress. She received coamoxiclave since 72 hour ago. Whats your diagnosis?

18/10/1390 20
Atypical pneumoniaAge 5-15 yrSevere constitutional signs: high fever, prolonged
fever, anorexia, malaiseMild respiratory signs: coryza, protracted
prolonged cough, no/mild distress, bilateral mild rales
Prominent extrapulmonary signs: rash, diarrhea, abdominal pain, CNS, …
Prominent x ray abnormalities: bilateral interstitial, lobar infiltrates specially in lower lobes
No response to beta-lactams and dramatic response to azithromycine, clarithromycine, erythromycine
