A statement from the presidential spokesman, Martin Krafl, did not specify Havel's condition but said the situation "is being worked on intensively." Havel's deteriorating condition comes nine days after he underwent intestinal surgery and is the latest in a string of serious ailments to afflict the 61-year-old playwright and former anti-Communist dissident. On Monday, doctors had to cut a hole in Havel's throat to aid his breathing after his right lung collapsed. He remains on a respirator. "Computer analysis confirmed the initial stages of bronchial pneumonia," the doctors said in Tuesday's statement, adding that Havel had developed "heart arrhythmia in the early morning hours. This situation is being intensively treated at present."

The micro-organism Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause pneumonia , though it is possible to be infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae without necessarily developing pneumonia. What causes a mycoplasma pneumonia infection? Anyone in contact with a secretion (such as phlegm) from the respiratory passages of an infected person risks contracting the mycoplasma organism. However, close contact is required for transmission, so the virus is more commonly found among members of the same family and in schools and day-care institutions. There is little point in isolating someone infected with the virus since some people carry the infection without feeling ill. Mycoplasma infections are most common in the 5 to 20 age range, though the disease is usually more dangerous among the middle-aged and elderly. An epidemic occurs every three to five years.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Pneumonia Bacterial Pneumonia Bacterial Pneumonia Overview Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. People with pneumonia usually complain about coughing, fever, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Your body's immune system usually keeps bacteria from infecting your lungs. In pneumonia, bacteria reproduce in your lungs, while your body tries to fight off the infection. This response to bacterial invaders is called inflammation. When the inflammation occurs in the alveoli (microscopic air sacs in the lungs), they fill with fluid. Your lungs become less elastic and cannot take oxygen into the blood, or remove carbon dioxide from the blood, as efficiently as usual. When the alveoli don't work efficiently, your lungs have to work harder to satisfy your body's need for oxygen. This causes the feeling of being short of breath, which is one of the most common symptoms of pneumonia. Inflammation causes many of the other symptoms, including fever and chest pain. Pneumonia can be very serious, because it directly interferes with your body's ability to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Sarosi, MD Each year, close to 4 million episodes of community-acquired pneumonia occur in the United States, about 500,000 of them necessitating hospitalization. In the vast majority of cases, patients are seen initially by a primary care physician in an office setting, an urgent-care facility, or an emergency department. When evaluating a patient who has a lower respiratory tract infection, the first question a physician asks himself or herself is whether the patient has pneumonia. This question cannot be answered adequately without a chest radiograph; physical examination simply is not sensitive enough to detect the difference between pneumonia and an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Pneumonia Chemical Pneumonia Chemical Pneumonia Overview Chemical pneumonia is an unusual type of lung irritation. Pneumonia usually is caused by a bacteria or virus. In chemical pneumonia, inflammation of lung tissue is from poisons or toxins. Only a small percentage of pneumonias are caused by chemicals. Many substances can cause chemical pneumonia, including liquids, gases, and small particles, such as dust or fumes, also called particulate matter. Some chemicals only harm the lungs; however, some toxic materials affect other organs in addition to the lungs and can result in serious organ damage or death. Aspiration pneumonia is another form of chemical pneumonia. Aspiration means that you breathe oral secretions or stomach contents into your lungs. The inflammation comes from the toxic effects of stomach acid and enzymes on lung tissue. Bacteria from the stomach or mouth can also cause a bacterial pneumonia. Chemical pneumonia is only one type of lung inflammation. You can read about

The recommendation now goes to the Food and Drug Administration, which usually follows its panels' advice. LG Life Sciences has licensed North American and European rights to privately-held GeneSoft Pharmaceuticals Inc. The FDA advisory panel voted 18-0, with one abstention, for approval for the community-acquired pneumonia indication, and 15-3, with one abstention, for approval for the bronchitis indication. Community-acquired pneumonia is defined as pneumonia acquired outside a hospital or nursing home setting. Earlier rejection The companies also sought approval for the indication for pneumonia resistant to current antibiotics. Panelists did not vote formally on that request, but a majority said Factive should get that claim. "I think it's very important to get this drug on the market," said panelist and Annandale, Virginia-based infectious disease specialist Donald Poretz, citing the need for more antibiotics that can defeat drug-resistant bacterial strains.

Pneumonia: New Prediction Model Proves Promising Research Findings for Clinicians Overview A new clinical prediction model can help clinicians determine the most appropriate care for newly diagnosed cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The model recently was announced by a team of researchers supported through a grant from the Federal Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR). The model stratifies patients into risk categories based on their medical history, physical examination findings, and a limited set of laboratory and radiographic results. This is a major breakthrough, since the factors used to predict risk are clearly defined and can be readily assessed at the time of patient presentation. The model also predicts other important medical outcomes, such as length of hospitalization, admission to an intensive care unit for respiratory failure or hemodynamic compromise, and time to usual activities. About 600,000 of the 4 million Americans who develop CAP each year are hospitalized. Because of a lack of evidence-based admission criteria and the tendency to overestimate the risk of death, many low-risk patients who could just as safely be treated as outpatients are instead admitted for more costly inpatient care. The investigators made projections from a prospective cohort study of 2,287 CAP patients in Pittsburgh, Boston, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. They suggest that if the model had been used, 26-31 percent of the patients who were hospitalized for care could have been treated safely as outpatients, and an additional 13-19 percent could have been hospitalized only briefly for observation. The investigators validated the model for accuracy and general applicability with data on over 50,000 CAP patients in 275 U.S. and Canadian hospitals.

Pneumology Medstudents' Homepage Pneumonia Overview Introduction Notwithstanding the availability of potent antimicrobial drugs, pneumonia is still a major health problem. It is an infection of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by a virus, bacteria or mycoplasma and is characteristically accompanied by cough, sputum production, fever, chills and pleuritic chest pain, all of which may be preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection. Physical examination reveals signs of consolidation of the lung parenchyma (increase tactile and vocal fremitus, bronchophony, egophony, bronchial breath sounds, fine rales over the consolidated area). Often there is also an associated pleural effusion, that can produce opposed features in physical examination (distant-to-absent breath sounds, pleural friction rubs which may fade as effusion becomes outstanding, decreased fremitus and flatness to percussion). These signs are most recurrently found with bacterial pneumonia, whereas viral and mycoplasma pneumonias present with very few signs (often, only rales are heard). Pathogenesis 1-aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions and associated bacterial flora;

Although signs and symptoms vary, many cases of pneumonia develop suddenly, with chest pain, fever, chills, cough and shortness of breath. Infection often follows a cold or the flu, but it also can be associated with other illnesses or occur on its own. Although antibiotics can treat some of the most common forms of bacterial pneumonias antibiotic-resistant strains are a growing problem. For that reason, and because the disease can be very serious, it's best to try to prevent infection in the first place.

Jones, 67, remains in critical but stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Doctors detected the pneumonia Friday morning, placed him on the ventilator to help him breathe and gave him medication to treat the pneumonia, hospital spokesman Matt Scanlan told CNN. "He is responding well to the drugs," Scanlan said. A fluid build-up in Jones' lungs is not life threatening, he said. Jones suffered a collapsed lung and a lacerated liver when his sport-utility vehicle hit a bridge abutment near his home Saturday in Franklin, a suburb of Nashville. It took two hours for rescuers to free him from the vehicle and he was then airlifted to the hospital, where he was placed on life support.
