PRECIPITATING FACTOR

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY PREDISPOSING FACTOR - Polluted environment

- Age - Bronchial Asthma
- Recent exposure to
pneumonia patients.

entrance of bacteria in airway

material propelled into alveolar system (Streptococcus Pneumonia)

adherence to alveolar macrophages exposure of

cell wall component (bacterial invasion to lungs)

loss of effectiveness of defense penetrate the sterile lower

acute inflammatory response affects alveoli
mechanism respiratory tract (lungs)

colonization multiplication

multiplication of bacteria in release of damaging exotoxins

Irritation of airways
the urinary tract

infection
↑ goblet cells ↑ mucus production
irritation of lining
in urinary tract
inflammation
occludes the airway occludes airway

Vasodilation and ↑ blood

Urinary Tract flow to area airways constriction
Infection
impairing 02 and CO2
exchange
 Decrease O2 intake
alveolar leakage

fluid leakage to pleural space

alveolar overinflates
decreasing lung
expansion & burst
Pleural effusion

air leaks to chest cavity

lung collapse

low blood oxygen levels in

the body

multiple organs deprived
