P N E U M O N I A

Pneumonia is an acute inflammatory condition of the lungs caused by bacteria and marked by formation of an exudate in the lung tissue.

The symptoms of pneumonia are following: fever and temperature changes have an irregular course and are caused by the appearance of new foci of inflammation in the pulmonary tissue. Fever persists several weeks and then decreases gradually. The patient”s breathing is rapid with 30-40 respirations per minute. There are breathlessness and cyanosis of the face. The patient complains of the pain in the chest particularly on deep breathing in and cough with purulent sputum. The pulse rate is accelerated and the arterial pressure is reduced. The blood analysis reveals leucocytosis and an accelerated ESR. The urine may contain a small amount of protein and erythrocytes. The X-ray examination of the lungs reveals numerous foci of inflammations. But after a course of treatment the prognosis is favourable.

In recent years the introduction of specific means of therapy for the majority of cases pneumonia has brought about a profound change in thought concerning the acute pulmonary infections.

A few years ago primary emphasis was placed upon the pathologic changes which developed in the lung. Today these changes are considered much less important than the accurate determination of the etiologic agent.

Except in acute lobar pneumonia, clinical findings rarely permit an etiologic diagnosis to be made at the bedside. Even in lobular pneumonia when the pneumococcus may logically be suspected in most cases, anyone of forty-one different types of pneumococci may be responsible.

Thus, the bacteriologic examination of the sputum must be considered an integral part of the study of patients with pneumonia.

GASTRITIS

 

Acute gastritis. Acute gastritis (catarrhal gastritis) is due to a great variety of causes. Common varieties in practice are the result of indiscretions in food or alcoholic drinks; but contaminated food, “chill" and scarlet fever in its acute stage may also induce very acute gastric catarrh. The inflammation may spread downwards to cause acute gastroenteritis. The cardinal symptom of acute gastritis is vomiting and when enteritis is superadded diarrhea also supervenes.

Chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is regarded as an important and by no means infrequent disease. Accurate diagnosis is essential. It is important to treat this disease in as early a stage as possible, not only for the immediate disabilities which arise but still more for the serious consequences such as carcinoma, which may possibly result from it. Much of the treatment is essentially prophylactic and consists in the removal of such well-known causes as alcoholism, oral sepsis (especially pyorrhea) and deficient mastication of food (from bad habits or lack of teeth). The cardinal symptoms and signs of an established case which demand treatment are:

1. Vomiting, especially in the morning and associated always with an excessive secretion of mucus into the stomach.

2. Diminution or frequently complete absence of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice. The prime causes favoring continuation of the disease having been removed, the first essential in treatment is gastric lavage carried out always before breakfast and in the severe cases at intervals during the day, before meals. Treatment by lavage is continued until improvement is manifest when its use can be gradually discontinued. If lavage is for any reason impossible, the next best substitute is the administration of
a teaspoonful or more of sodium bicarbonate in a tumblerful of warm water in the morning and again before meals throughout the day.

Hydrochloric acid is so commonly greatly diminished or absent in an untreated case of chronic gastritis that some effort is generally made to remedy the deficiency. It is known that after gastric lavage for some weeks the secretion of hydrochloric acid frequently returns in adequate amount.

3. Anorexia is common in chronic patients especially in the morning when there is a great excess of mucus in the stomach. Later in the day the appetite generally improves. Bad dietary habits are common in these patients. The prescribed diet should be arranged so that attractive small meals are provided at frequent intervals.
