Pneumonia. is it possible to die (death) if you get pneumonia?
Answers:
Cheery
Many citizens believe that pneumonia is not much more serious than a common cold. They are mistaken. Pneumonia every year is sick about every hundredth inhabitant of the planet. For some, this ends pitifully; mortality of the elderly and children under one year from this disease is 15-20%.
Doctors say that pneumonia has "three faces." The most serious and dangerous form of the disease is acute pneumonia, or croupous pneumonia. The disease begins suddenly. At first the patient is beaten by the strongest chill, which can not be dealt with, after a few hours the temperature jumps to 40 degrees. In one-sided inflammation, when one lung is injured, the side is dully sore, with bilateral pain covering the thorax and back in the area of the scapula. Any physical load, even minimal, causes rapid panting, the patient suffers from a prolonged dry cough, which does not stop for half an hour or longer. Sometimes from this in the lungs burst blood vessels, and the diseased "coughs up blood." The temperature lasts for about two weeks, after which it falls sharply - a crisis sets in. If a person has high immunity, then the ailment can pass by itself. But in most cases the body gives up: pneumococci affect the cardiovascular system, because of the poor performance of inflamed lungs, the brain does not get enough oxygen. And then, if you do not provide medical assistance on time, a fatal outcome is possible
Sluggish (more correctly - focal) pneumonia proceeds more easily. The temperature is not so high-not more than 38 degrees, but it keeps from 3-4 days to a week or more. The patient feels lethargic, slightly shaky, has a headache, no appetite. Directly the patient's life, focal pneumonia is not threatened. It develops as a complication after acute respiratory disease, colds, bronchitis, influenza.
A very unpleasant form of pneumonia is a prolonged or chronic pneumonia, which is the result of the premature cessation of the treatment of acute forms. The disease can last for years, then fading, then flaring up again. It is dangerous because the inflammatory process in the lungs does not stop, because of what develops emphysema of the lungs, pneumosclerosis, on the lung tissue, scars form. At the same time, the normal supply of oxygen to the organs is disrupted.
Causes leading to pneumonia may be several. Specialists are the main culprit of pneumonia called strong prolonged hypothermia. However, the disease can also be caused by dust, stuffiness, dry air, as pneumonia develops due to impaired sputum properties (the so-called mucus, which is constantly secreted by the mucous membrane bronchi). The value of sputum is extremely high: it envelops dust particles that enter the lungs, it contains substances that support the elasticity of the lung tissue. When thick mucus disrupts the ventilation of the lungs, in poorly ventilated areas blood circulation is disrupted, microbes settle, and, as a consequence, the inflammatory process begins. Therefore, those who lead a passive lifestyle are often prone to pneumonia, seldom walk, do not engage physical work, smokes a lot - all this leads to insufficient ventilation of the lungs and, consequently, to their weakening. And, of course, the risk group includes those who suffer from chronic respiratory diseases-bronchitis, tonsillitis, asthma, as all these ailments disrupt the normal functioning of the lungs.
Croupous inflammation must be treated in the hospital, and with focal pneumonia it is possible to fight at home. In any case, treatment should begin as soon as possible to prevent the transition of the disease in a protracted or chronic form. To bring down the temperature with acute pneumonia cold compresses help, which must be changed every half hour. With focal and prolonged pneumonia, warming up is very useful, especially "mustard physiotherapy woolen socks with poured mustard, mustard plasters on the upper part of the chest and back. With any form of pneumonia, you need to drink more: fruit, jelly, juice.

Inflammation of the lungs in adults: symptoms, treatment
Inflammation of the lungs in adults is an acute lung injury. The cause of pneumonia (this is the name of this inflammatory process in medicine) is an infection that penetrates the body by airborne droplets. Initially, to determine whether a patient actually has a given severe inflammatory process, he is given a referral to the chest X-ray.The prognosis for a positive outcome of this disease depends solely on what caused the inflammatory process, what measures were taken Initially, as well as - at what stage the patient turned to the doctor for help (that is, how much time has passed since the appearance of the first signs of the disease and before resorting to doctor).
Epidemiology of pneumonia
To date, pneumonia is one of the most common infectious lesions of the human lungs. Every day, pneumonia affects about 15 people in the world. If you resort to statistics on mortality from pneumonia, of the 2 million people who have lung pneumonia, 4, 00 die.
Doctors call pneumonia a terrible disease that affects both young children and elderly people. Moreover, despite the development of medicine and the progress of scientific technologies, pneumonia (pneumonia) is a common and frequently occurring cause of death in all developing countries.
Lethal outcome of pneumonia
The death from pneumonia is increased exponentially. It is the leader in mortality among infections with infectious diseases. A list of diseases that most often leads to mortality is created. In the first place are cardiovascular lesions, then oncology and in third place - infectious pneumonia.
Among the reasons for the increased mortality of patients from pneumonia, it is necessary to indicate reduced immunity. It is against this background that most inflammatory and infectious processes develop, because the body does not have the physical strength to resist infection.
The first signs of pneumonia
As mentioned above, the form of manifestation of pneumonia depends entirely on the type of pathogen. Depending on the type of infectious process in the body, the first signs of pneumonia are isolated.
If pneumonia is diagnosed at the mild / first stage of the lesion, the chances of a positive outcome are quite high.
Among the first signs of the inflammatory process of the lungs can be identified such as:
- A heat that lasts for several days;
- Prolonged runny nose;
- Prolonged cough;
- Chills, a person is feverish, even despite the intake of antibiotics, and special antipyretic drugs;
- Shortness of breath while walking or a long conversation;
- A person may feel that he is suffocating and he does not have enough oxygen;
- Increased weakness in the body;
- Muscle weakness;
- Man gets tired very quickly.
Among all these signs, the first thing that should disturb a person is an acute, catastrophic lack of air. Indeed, it creates the feeling that something is strangling you, the rope is tightening around your neck. A person can make uncomfortable wheezing, he wants to clear his throat and start breathing freely.
At the first stage of pneumonia as such, the defeat of the upper respiratory tract may not be. But, it will progress with every day (without lack of treatment), and turn into a deadly phenomenon.
Diagnosis of pneumonia at an early stage
Diagnosis of pneumonia at an early stage of the disease can be done with a chest X-ray. At this stage, the first lesions of the pulmonary parenchyma are already visible. What if you have pneumonia?
If pneumonia is detected at an early stage, it is mandatory to start taking antibiotics in order to prevent pulmonary insufficiency.
Important!
With an increase in temperature, the appearance of chills, runny nose, attacks of suffocation, you can call an ambulance. But! If at an early stage to identify an acute pathological lesion of the lungs will not be possible. The physiological state of the patient must be monitored in dynamics. On the second, third day the patient begins to breathe heavily, and wheezing is heard in the lungs.
It is very important not to miss the moment of defeat of lung tissue. Otherwise it can be very late and the volume of allocated infiltrative foci will be deadly.
Definition of pneumonia of the lungs by specific features
Pneumonia in an adult has some specific characteristics, which necessarily need to pay attention.
- Since the virus that causes pneumonia affects the blood vessels of the lungs, the person as a result of this can be ill more than 3 Once every year (because the lungs are overgrown with fibrous tissue or in simple words - scarring occurs tissue).
- In an adult, pneumonia most often develops against the background of influenza. After a specific sneezing, runny nose, severe headache, and increased fatigue, a cough begins with sputum and blood.
- Inflammation is characterized by a specific pain in the chest.
Signs of bilateral pneumonia
In order to recognize bilateral pneumonia, it is necessary to pay attention to such signs of damage to the body as:
- Blood veins after every attack of cough;
- The rise in temperature is very rapid, a feeling is created that a person burns;
- Severe rhinitis;
- Continuous debilitating cough;
- Pain in the pile, like after hitting the chest with your fist;
- A red face, an unblinking blush on his cheeks;
- Eruptions of herpes on the face, lips.
Treatment of pneumonia
The first drug that is used in the treatment of pneumonia is antibiotics. Further, the patient must necessarily endure the disease without getting out of bed; he was given a generous warm drink, as well as an easy balanced diet.
For the cough relief, special expectorants are used.
Self-treatment, without examining the doctor and prescribed prescription of therapeutic actions, is not permissible.

How often do they die from pneumonia and is it considered to be a tighter than the flu?

everything is fine, my brother was ill with pneumonia and recovered from this do not die
Dirty Louis
Influenza deaths are always in the leading positions, and from pneumonia die, but with timely diagnosis, it is treated well with the most affordable antibiotics and procedures. The exception is atypical pneumonia, here the mortality rate is very high and does not respond well to standard therapy.
$$$
The pneumonia is heavier than the flu, although there are serious complications from the flu. and if pneumonia is not treated then alas, the lethal outcome is highly probable.
and the flu itself passes, just relieve the symptoms of drugs.
In T
Pneumonia is the sixth most frequent cause of death. Between 1979 and 1994 mortality from pneumonia and influenza has increased, as the number of patients older than 65 years and patients with concomitant diseases has increased. As studies have shown, the lethality of community-acquired pneumonia is from, to 3,%, on average - 14%. When analyzing the data on the discharges in 1993 the mortality rate was 1 and,%, respectively. The likelihood of a fatal outcome is higher in the elderly, patients with alcoholism, with bacteremia and lesions of several lobes (according to radiography data).
Than flu differs from colds
Influenza viruses quickly penetrate the respiratory tract into the bloodstream. Influenza is usually much heavier than SARS, and often gives severe complications. The flu can be distinguished, first of all, at the onset of the disease. He attacks immediately and throughout the front: a severe headache begins, pain in the eyes, body aches, chills, sweating, photophobia. The temperature rises quickly to 39ºC, and even to 40ºC, and can hold at this level until 3-4 days. Appetite is not, the tongue is laid, the stool is irregular. In severe conditions, insomnia, vomiting, fainting, nonsense, convulsions, loss of consciousness are possible. For a very long time, there is weakness. Coryza, cough and other "cold" signs appear later, on the 2-3rd day of the disease.
Complications
The flu is sometimes complicated by bacterial pneumonia, most often pneumococcal - severe, but treatable with timely diagnosis. The severity of pneumonia is due to the fact that the influenza virus reduces immunity and facilitates the penetration of pneumococci into the lungs. Pneumonia is especially dangerous for young children, patients with chronic diseases of the lungs, heart and blood vessels, diabetes. In young children, the flu often causes otitis media - inflammation of the middle ear. Therefore, the flu in any case can not be carried on its feet, it requires bed rest and careful treatment. If the patient has a temperature above 38 ° C lasting more than three days, this may indicate the attachment of a bacterial infection, so you need to see a doctor.

"The pneumonia in question is a complication of influenza A (H1N1), not bacterial, but associated with the defeat of the vessels. In simple terms, a sick person chokes, can not breathe. He is sent for artificial ventilation, but he dies. The disease develops in three or four days. "

Pig flu is the same as usual, only a new mutation. It is the same as usual. And as a normal flu is not dangerous, but its complications. If you do not run around with temperature down the street, everything will be OK.

It seems that with an unfavorable scenario, now, most often, acute current pneumonia develops against its background. As a rule, it can not be stopped with conventional antibiotics.
In the absence of medical care, after 3-7 days a person dies from cardiac or respiratory failure. In the presence of chronic diseases - any of them can pierce. At autopsy, the lungs resemble a bloody kissel. Physicians had never seen this before.

With a new unknown. the disease runs like this - no signs of a cold, but the temperature rises to 39-40, easily gets rid of the antipyretic to 37 in 30-40 minutes and so several times. On the third day in 6-10 hours, total fulminant pneumonia develops, pulmonary edema, that's when the shortness of breath begins, coughing from the shelter. veins people and go to the hospital, they are beginning to give antibiotics - but it's too late, t. to the lungs already destroyed and turned into a bloody mash, the result is a lethal outcome, young people die, even devices arts. Ventilation can no longer push air into the lungs, only the new method saves - enriching the blood with oxygen directly bypassing the lungs.
I do not know what it is, we will not call loud diagnoses, but the symptoms have recovered

To prevent atypical pneumonia, at a high temperature immediately in the first day itself give antibiotic streptomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, doxycycline or gentamicin and stabbing a week or tablets. On the third day, total pneumonia, pulmonary edema can develop, now this infection walks in the Ukraine, it is not known what is the complication of swine flu, bird flu, SARS, atypical pneumonia, pulmonary plague, figs it knows, but with antibiotics in the first day of the disease - you can avoid death, then it will be too late.
Like SARS, H5N1, swine flu and plague are being killed.
What have common SARS, A (H5N1) - avian influenza, swine flu (A / H1N1) and pulmonary plague: Victims are dying from the RESPIRATORY DISTRESS-SYNDROME ADULT (ARDS, SHOCK LIGHT)

And from pneumonia die?
Answers:
sola
And how. As a result of the inflammatory process, the lungs swell, they stagnate liquid, and a person simply dies from lack of oxygen. And pneumonia itself very often develops in immobile patients, i.e. in fact, it can itself be a complication when the lungs are not sufficiently ventilated.
