   What Is Bacterial Pneumonia?          

           Articles OnPneumonia Types            

             Types of Pneumonia      

             Walking Pneumonia      

             Viral Pneumonia      

             Bacterial Pneumonia      

             Chemical Pneumonia      

             Bacterial pneumonia is an infection of your lungs caused by certain bacteria. The most common one is Streptococcus (pneumococcus), but other bacteria can cause it too. If you’re young and basically healthy, these bacteria can live in your throat without causing any trouble. But if your body’s defenses (immune system) become weak for some reason, the bacteria can go down into your lungs. When this happens, the air sacs in your lungs get infected and inflamed. They fill up with fluid, and that causes pneumonia.

You have a higher risk of getting bacteria pneumonia if you:

         Are 65 or older

         Have other conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease

         Are recovering from surgery

         Don’t eat right or get enough vitamins and minerals

         Have another condition that weakens your body’s defenses

         Smoke

         Drink too much alcohol

         Have viral pneumonia

       People who have a weakened immune system also have an increased risk for bacterial pneumonia. These include those who recently had an organ transplant. People who are HIV positive, or who have leukemia, lymphoma, or severe kidney disease also stand a greater chance of developing the infection.

Symptoms

The symptoms can come on fast and furious, or they can creep up on you over a few days. Common symptoms are:

                     High fever up to 105 F

                     Coughing out greenish, yellow, or bloody mucus

         Chills that make you shake

         Feeling like you can’t catch your breath, especially when you move around a lot

         Feeling very tired

         Low appetite

         Sharp or stabby chest pain, especially when you cough or take a deep breath

                     Sweating a lot

         Fast breathing and heartbeat

         Lips and fingernails turning blue

         Confusion, especially if you’re older

       Suggested

Prevention

There are two kinds of shots for bacterial pneumonia:

         PCV13 (Prevnar 13) is for:

         People 65 or older

         Kids under 5 years

         People who have a high risk of bacterial pneumonia

                 PPSV23 (Pneumovax) is for:

         People 65 or older

         Children older than 2 who have a high risk of bacterial pneumonia

         People between 19 and 64 who smoke or have asthma

       Talk to your doctor to find out if you or your child should get a shot.

Besides getting shots, you can lower your risk of getting bacterial pneumonia by doing these things:

                     Wash your hands regularly, especially after you go to the bathroom and before you eat.

         Eat right, with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

                     Exercise.

         Get enough sleep.

                     Quit smoking.

         Stay away from sick people, if possible.

       Diagnosis

Your doctor might be able to tell if you have bacterial pneumonia just by examining you and asking questions about your symptoms and general health. They’ll probably listen to your lungs with a stethoscope. That will allow them to hear sounds that show there’s fluid in your lungs. But if they are not sure, you might have to get a chest X-ray.

Some people may need extra tests. These might include:

                     Pulse oximetry (a small gizmo clipped to your finger that checks for enough oxygen in your blood)

                     Blood tests

         Tests of the gunk you cough up (“sputum”)

                     CT scan to look more closely at your lungs

       Treatment

Your doctor probably will prescribe antibiotics. It’s very important that you finish all of these. Otherwise the bacteria may not all be killed and you could get sick all over again. Your doctor might also suggest medication for pain and fever.

Other things you can do to help yourself get better:

         Get lots of rest.

         Drink plenty of fluids (they’ll loosen up the gunk in your lungs so you can cough it out).

         Use a humidifier or take a warm bath (more gunk-loosening).

         Don’t smoke.

         Stay home until your fever goes down and you aren’t coughing anything out.

       Most people who are treated for bacterial pneumonia start feeling better in a few days, but it can take a few weeks before you feel 100% better. Make sure you keep your follow-up appointments so your doctor can check your lungs.

If the pneumonia is stubborn or severe, you might have to go to the hospital. If you go to the hospital you might get:

         Oxygen treatment

         IV fluids and medications

         Treatments to help loosen up the gunk
