Abstract

Pneumonia clinically; Cough with sputum, purulent sputum, dyspnea and/or tachypnea, two or more of the symptoms and signs of pleuritic chest pain with infiltrations on chest X-ray. Immunodeficiency; It is the inability of the organism to give the expected response to infectious agents due to weakening or insufficiency in the immune system. Lungs are one of the tissues and organs affected in immunodeficiency diseases, and can be complicated when they cannot be treated effectively. For this reason, it is very important to distinguish pneumonia on the basis of immunodeficiency from community-acquired pneumonia and to initiate treatment early in order to prevent possible complications.

Özet

Pnömoni klinik olarak; balgamlı öksürük, pürülan balgam, dispne ve/veya takipne, akciğer grafisinde infiltrasyonlarla birlikte olan plöritik göğüs ağrısı semptom ve bulgularından iki veya daha fazlasının olmasıdır. İmmun yetmezlik; organizmanın immun sistemde zayıflama ya da yetmezlik nedeniyle, enfeksiyon ajanlarına karşı beklenen yanıtı verememesi durumudur. Akciğerler immün yetmezlik hastalıklarında etkilenen doku ve organların başında gelmektedir, efektif tedavi edilemediği durumlarda komplike olabilmektedir. Bu sebeple immun yetmezlik zemininde gelişen pnömöni olgusunu, toplum kökenli pnömöniden ayırt etmek ve tedavinin erken başlanması olası komplikasyonları önlemek açısından oldukça önemlidir.
