CHAPTER10 Respiratorymedicine
Pneumonia inadults
Acute infection of lung parenchyma. Common condition, aecting 0.5– 1% adults annually in the UK. Incidence i with age and peaks in the winter. Mortality rate <1% in those managed in primary care. 22– 42% require hos­pital admission, where mortality rate is 5– 14%.
Presentation Acute illness is characterized by:
• Symptoms of an acute lower respiratory tract illness (cough + ≥1 other
lower respiratory tract symptom, e.g. purulent sputum, pleurisy, wheeze, pleuritic pain)
• New focal chest signs on examination (consolidation or d air entry,
coarse crackles and/ or pleural rub)
• ≥1 systemic feature:sweating, fevers, shivers, aches and pains, and/ or
temperature ≥38°C
• No other explanation for the illness 0 The elderly may present atypically, e.g. ‘o legs’ or acute confusion.
Common causative organisms:Usually bacterial
S.pneumoniae (36%)— E p. 630
H.inuenzae (10%)— more common among the elderly— E p. 632
Inuenza Aand B (8%)— annual epidemics during the winter months; ~3% develop pneumonia— E p. 292
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (1.3%)— less common in the elderly. Epidemics occur every 4y in the UK— E p. 298
• Gram −ve enteric bacteria (1.3%)
C.psittaci (1.3%)— ~20% have history of bird contact— E p. 298
S.aureus (0.8%)— more common in the winter months; may be associated with viral infection, e.g. u— E p. 630
Legionella spp. (0.4%)— most common in September/ October— >50% related to travel
• No cause identied (45%)
TB E p. 296 Immunocompromised patients E p. 626
Vaccination forprevention
• Inuenza E p. 293 • Pneumococcal E p. 630
Dierential diagnosis Pneumonitis, e.g. secondary to radiotherapy;
malignancy; pulmonary oedema; PE; asthma/ COPD exacerbation; TB.
Investigations Often unnecessary in general practice. Consider:
Pulse oximetry Use to assess severity. If oxygen saturation is <94% in air, the patient is hypoxic and requires admission
CXR If diagnostic uncertainty, symptoms not resolving, or risk of lung cancer. CXR changes may lag behind clinical signs, but should return to normal <6wk after recovery. Persistent changes on CXR >6wk after recovery require further investigation
Sputum culture If not responding to treatment. If weight d, malaise, night sweats, or risk factors for TB (ethnic origin, history of TB exposure, social deprivation or elderly), request mycobacterium culture
Blood FBC— i WCC; i ESR; acute and convalescent titres to conrm ‘atypical’ pneumonia (Legionella, C.psittaci, M.pneumoniae)

Management
Consider theneed foradmission Table 10.11
Admit as a blue light emergency— if any ‘red ag’ features. If
life- threatening infection or considerable delay (>2h), consider administering antibiotics before admission
Consider admission— if any ‘intermediate features’. Have a low
threshold if:≥65y, poor social situation, concomitant illness (e.g. heart failure, chronic lung, renal or liver disease, DM, cancer), impairment in immune function (immunosuppressant drugs, steroids), or trauma, surgery, or invasive procedure in the last 6wk
If a decision is made totreat athome
Advise not to smoke Take analgesia, rest, and drink plenty of uids
If no intermediate features Give antibiotics for 5d, e.g. amoxicillin
500mg tds or doxycycline 200mg on day 1 then 100mg od, or clarithromycin 500mg bd. Review after 3d:if poor response, extend treatment to 7– 10d
If any intermediate features Consider dual therapy with amoxicillin
500mg tds + clarithromycin 500mg bd for 7– 10d, or monotherapy with doxycycline for 7– 10d. Review within 3d:if poor response, admit
Complications Require specialist management— refer.
• Pleural eusion (may be reactive or empyema— pus in the lung cavity)
• Lung abscess (presents with swinging fever and worsening pneumonia)
• Septicaemia— E p. 1056 • Respiratory failure
• Metastatic infections • Jaundice

CHAPTER10 Respiratorymedicine
Tuberculosis
Caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. In 2015, there were 10.4million new cases worldwide and 1.8 million deaths. In the UK, 6240 cases were notied in 2015 and accounted for ~300 deaths.
ND
Risk factors In the UK:
• Born in high- prevalence areas, e.g. India, Pakistan, Nigeria
• Active TB contact in same household; close contacts at school/ work
• Previous (especially incomplete) TB treatment— in 2013, 7% of reported TB cases had a diagnosis of TB >12mo previously
• Immunosuppression, e.g. by medications (steroids, chemotherapy) or co- morbidities (HIV, diabetes). People living with HIV accounted for
1.2million (11%) new cases in 2015 worldwide
• Smoking, alcohol, and drug misuse
• Social factors ~70% of all patients with TB in the UK were resident in the 40% most deprived areas. At particular risk are the homeless, institutionalized people, and people living in overcrowded conditions or prisons
Prevention Bacille Calmette– Guérin (BCG) is a live attenuated strain of
bacteria derived from M.bovis. BCG vaccination provides immunity lasting ≤15y to 70– 80% of recipients. It is given by intradermal injection into the left upper arm. Target groups:
• All infants living in areas where incidence of TB is ≥40/ 100,000 and infants whose parents or grandparents were born in a country with TB incidence of ≥40/ 100,000
• Previously unvaccinated new immigrants from countries where there is a high prevalence of TB
• Occupational risk, e.g. healthcare workers, veterinary sta, prison sta
• Contacts of known cases or those living or working in high- prevalence countries for extended periods (generally ≥3mo)
Do not give other immunizations into the same arm for 3mo.
Screening TB is a notiable disease. After notication, contact tracing is
initiated, usually through chest clinics. Screening may be done with tuber­culin test or interferon gamma release assay, depending on the scenario.
Tuberculin skin test Standard in the UK is the Mantoux test. Useful
to detect previous exposure to organism (or BCG vaccination) by pro­voking an immune reaction. Apuried protein derivative of M.tuberculosis is injected intradermally in the forearm. Response is read after 48– 72h (Table10.12). Test can be suppressed by:
• Hodgkin’s disease
• Glandular fever
• Live viral vaccines— do not do a tuberculin test <4wk after vaccination
• Immunosuppressant treatment or diseases, including HIV
• Viral infections
• Corticosteroid therapy
• Sarcoidosis
If a patient has a +ve tuberculin test— DO NOT give BCG vaccination.
https://t.me/med1917
TUBERCULOSIS
ND
Primary TB Initial infection. Transmitted by droplet infection. Alesion
forms (usually pulmonary) which drains to local LNs. Immunity develops and the infection becomes quiescent. May be asymptomatic or include:
• Fever
• Night sweats
• Persistent cough ± sputum
• Haemoptysis
• Pneumonia
• Pleural eusion
• Anorexia
• Weight d
• Erythema nodosum
Table10.12 Tuberculin testing and interpretation ofresults
Diameter of induration
<6mm Negative Suggests no TB infection— beware false negatives.
6– 14mm Positive Should not be given BCG. May be due to
15mm Strongl y positive Suggests TB infection or disease. Refer for
Positivity Interpretation
Previously unvaccinated people may be given BCG provided there are no contraindications
previous TB infection or BCG or exposure to non- tuberculous mycobacteria
investigation
Investigations andmanagement
• CXR
• 3× sputum samples for culture and microscopy for acid- fast bacilli
• Refer to a TB specialist service for diagnosis and ongoing management
Post- primary TB Reactivation of a primary infection. Initial lesions
(usually in the upper lobes of the lung) progress and brose. Other sites may develop disease. Multiple small lesions throughout the body results in miliary TB and is common in immunocompromised patients. Symptoms and signs relate to the organs infected. In all cases, refer for specialist treatment. Extra- pulmonary disease sites:
• CNS
• Lymph nodes
Treatment
• Spine (rarely other bones/ joints)
• Peripheral cold abscess
N
0 Always refer to the chest clinic; 10% are resistant to
• Pericardium
• Miliary
rst- line antibiotics. Specialist management will involve:
• Antibiotic drug treatment with combination regimens— usually 6months
of isoniazid + rifampicin, with pyrazinamide + ethambutol for the rst 2months. All have potentially serious side eects and need monitoring
• Risk assessment for drug- resistant TB and HIV infection. Care
coordination and allocation of key worker to monitor treatment concordance, side eects, and clinical response. ‘Directly observed therapy’ (DOT) is used in high- risk groups (e.g. homeless patients) to ensure concordance. Medications are taken under observation
• Contact tracing

CHAPTER10 Respiratorymedicine
Other respiratoryinfections
Mycoplasma Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes epidemics of lower re-
spiratory tract infection every 3– 4y. Spread by droplet infection.
Incubation 12– 14d
Presentation Dry, persistent cough ± arthralgia. CXR shows bilateral, patchy consolidation. Infection is conrmed with serology
Management Clarithromycin 500mg bd for 2wk or doxycycline 100– 200mg daily for 2wk. Relapse is common. Severe infections may require hospital admission
Respiratory chlamydialinfection
C.pneumoniae Accounts for 6– 19% of community- acquired pneumonia— especially in children/ young adults. Clinically indistinguishable from Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Treat with doxycycline 100– 200mg/ d or clarithromycin 500mg bd for 2wk, or azithromycin 500mg od for 3d
C.psittaci Infects many animals, but human infection is closely related to contact with birds. Treat as for C.pneumoniae
Pertussis (whooping cough)
Presentation Incubation:7– 10d; Symptoms:
Catarrhal stage Symptoms and signs of URTI— lasts 1– 2wk
Coughing stage Increasingly severe, paroxysmal cough with spasms of coughing followed by a ‘whoop’— associated with vomiting, cyanosis during coughing spasms ± exhaustion. Lasts 4– 6wk, then cough improves over 2– 3wk. Chest is clear between coughing bouts
Investigation Microscopy and culture of nasal swabs (special swab and
culture medium available from the laboratory); FBC— lymphocytosis
Management Macrolide antibiotics (clarithromycin, erythromycin, or
azithromycin) are recommended if onset of cough was in the last 21d
Complications Pneumonia, bronchiectasis, convulsions, subconjunctival
haemorrhages, and facial petechiae
Prevention
Proven contacts Treat with clarithromycin or erythromycin
Childhood vaccination E p. 619. Personal or FH of febrile convulsion,
FH of epilepsy and well- controlled epilepsy are not contraindications— give advice on fever prevention. Defer vaccination if any undiagnosed/ evolving neurological condition or poorly controlled epilepsy until the condition is stable— if in doubt, seek specialist paediatric advice
Vaccination in pregnancy Oered from 16– 32wk gestation in the UK to i passive immunity in newborn babies. Combination vaccine containing inactivated polio, tetanus, and diphtheria vaccine as well as pertussis is recommended. If missed, can be given until the goes into labour
0 Pertussis immunity wanes after vaccination— do not rule out the possi­bility of pertussis because a person has been vaccinated.

OTHER RESPIRATORYINFECTIONS
Aspergillosis Spores ofAspergillus fungus present in the soil and decaying
vegetation can be inhaled any time of the year, but reach peak levels in au­tumn/winter. Inhaled spores colonize bronchial mucosa and nasal sinuses.
Presentations
Asthma E p. 278
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis Presents with episodes of
eosinophilic pneumonia (characterized by wheeze, cough, fever, and malaise) throughout the year, but worse in late autumn. CXR shows eeting lung shadows (cleared by expectorating rm, brown plugs of mucus). Untreated l upper lobe brosis and ‘proximal’ bronchiectasis
Invasive aspergillosis Only occurs in the immunocompromised. Aspergillus disseminates from the lung l brain, kidneys, and other organs. Carries very poor prognosis
Aspergillus sinusitis Nasal congestion, headache, and facial pain
Aspergilloma Growth within existing lung cavities (e.g. from previous TB or sarcoidosis). Aball of fungus forms. CXR shows a round lesion with air halo above it. Occasionally results in haemoptysis
Management Refer for specialist management.
Pneumocystis jiroveci (PCP) May be classied as a protozoan or
fungus. Causes pneumonia in immunocompromised patients.
Presentation Fever, breathlessness, tachypnoea, dry cough, respiratory failure (± cyanosis)
Investigation CXR normal or ‘ground- glass’ appearance; sputum culture may be diagnostic
Management If suspected, refer for specialist care. Treatment is with co- trimoxazole or dapsone
Prevention Prophylactic antibiotics (usually co- trimoxazole) are given to AIDS patients with CD4 counts <200 cells/ mm
Novel corona virus infections
ND
Include: SARS (sudden acute respira-
3
tory syndrome), MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019). Spread: direct contact with infected individual/ contaminated surface or aerosol. Incubation: 2–14d (mean 5.5d).
Twostages:
Prodrome Fever (>37.8oC), malaise, headache, myalgia
Respiratory phase Develops after 3– 7d— dry cough and breathlessness.
Other symptoms Watery diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, URTI symptoms, e.g. rhinitis, sore throat. Asymptomatic patients may still spread the virus.
>95% recover after 7–10d but 1–2% progress to respiratory failure and/or 2° complications, e.g. pneumonia. If mild symptoms, manage at home— patients must self-isolate for ≥7d or until full recovery. If breathless at rest, peripheral oxygen saturation <92% on air, circulatory compromise, or per­sistent fever >7d, admit as an acute medical emergency. Personal contacts of patients with suspected/conrmed infections must self-isolate for 14d. ACOVID-19 vaccine is likely to be available by 2020/2021.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when assessing/ managing patients with suspected corona virus infection and pre-warn

CHAPTER10 Respiratorymedicine
Cystic fibrosis and Kartagenersyndrome
Cystic brosis (CF) The most common inherited disorder in the UK
(prevalence:1 in 2500). Around 10,800 people in the UK have CF. Median survival has i dramatically and is now >40y, but of the 7500 CF patients in the UK, 6000 are <25y old.
Genetics Results from mutation of a single gene on chromosome 7 (cystic brosis transmembrane conductance regulator) essential for salt and water movement across cell membranes. This causes thickened secretions. >2000 dierent mutations have been described. Autosomal recessive inheritance results in a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with CF if both parents are car­riers. ~1 in 25 adults in the UK carries the CF gene. Most common in Caucasians— rare in people of Afro- Caribbean origin.
Screening Several possibilities:
Pre- conceptual screening Buccal smears to karyotype prospective
parents
Antenatal screening Chorionic villous sampling at ~10wk— for parents
with an aected child already or where both parents are +ve on karyotyping
Neonatal screening E p. 830
Common problems associated withCF Figure 10.4
Diagnosis
• Screening
• If clinical suspicion of CF, refer to paediatrics. A+ve sweat test (>60mmol/ L on 2 occasions) is diagnostic as is i potential dierence across the nasal respiratory epithelium. An elevated sodium level may be found on the sweat test, as well as i chloride:sodium ratio (>1)
Management CF is a multisystem disease requiring a holistic approach to care, which aims to maintain patients’ independence, improve quality of life, and extend life expectancy. Amultidisciplinary team in a specialist CF centre is best placed to achieve this. Patients usually have direct access. Management involves:
• Treatment of lung disease, e.g. with exercise, physiotherapy, antibiotics, and mucolytics
• Maintaining good nutritional state, e.g. pre- meal oral pancreatic enzymes, high- calorie diet, and fat- soluble vitamin supplements (A, D, and E)
• Treatment of complications, e.g. DM, osteoporosis

CF Trust F 0300 373 1000 M www.cysticbrosis.org.uk
Kartagener syndrome (immotile cilia syndrome) Autosomal
recessive inherited condition results in abnormal structure and function of cilia. Consists of a combination of bronchiectasis, chronic sinusitis, and male infertility plus situs inversus (transposed heart and abdominal organs). Otitis media and salpingitis are frequent. Specialist treatment is supportive.

Interstitial lungdisease
Also known as diuse parenchymal lung disease. Comprises >200 dierent diseases (many rare) in which inammation aects the alveolar wall, leading to uid in the alveolar air spaces.
Presentation Increasing dyspnoea ± cough. More rarely wheeze, pleurisy,
and/ or haemoptysis. May present incidentally with changes on CXR.
Furtherassessment
• History of the condition— acute, episodic, chronic?
• Severity— exercise tolerance
• Possible causes:
• Smoking
• Hobbies and occupation
• Usual environment (e.g. lives on a farm) and travel
• Past medical history (particularly rheumatological symptoms and immunosuppression e.g. HIV) and family history
• Drugs
• Examine looking for ne inspiratory crackles in the chest, and evidence
of systemic disease, e.g. fever, rashes, or other skin changes, eye signs (particularly red eye), hepatomegaly, and/ or splenomegaly, arthritis
• Pulse oximetry— d peripheral oxygen saturations
Investigations
CXR— diuse shadowing
Urine dipstick— for protein and blood
Blood— FBC, ESR, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function tests,
autoimmune prole
Lung function tests— usually show restrictive picture— rarely no
abnormalities or obstructive picture
Classication Table10.13
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis Also known as extrinsic allergic alveol-
itis, farmer’s lung, and bird fancier’s lung. Inhaled particles (e.g. fungal spores, avian proteins) cause an allergic reaction in lungs of hypersensitive individuals. May present as an acute or chronic reaction, or both may occur together.
Acute reaction 2– 4h post exposure. Fever, malaise, dry cough,
shortness of breath
Chronic reaction Malaise, weight d, exertional dyspnoea, ne
crepitations in both lung elds
Investigations
Blood FBC:i neutrophils (acute reaction); ESR i (acute reaction)
CXR May be normal or show typical changes (shadowing, widespread
small nodules or ground glass appearance)
Diagnosis Based on history and high- resolution CT scan ndings. Serum
precipitins to the provoking factor are found in ≥90%
Management If possible prevent further exposure to the allergen. In all cases refer for specialist advice. Treatment is usually with corticosteroids. If occupational exposure, may qualify as industrial disease and be eligible for compensation— E p. 90.
