bronchial and alveolar bacterial burdenVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the main nosocomial infection in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Despite numerous advances in the understanding of this disorder, the incidence rate continues in an unacceptable range. In this review, we discuss some...

The many clinical conditions associated with acute lung injury include aspiration pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and sepsis. The fundamental cause of acute lung injury is pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability. Pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability can be attenuated by nitric oxide and cyclic GMP, and ...
Organisms can be introduced to the lungs by way of inhalation, bacteria, fungi, parasites, or aspiration, although most pneumonia cases are viral infections. Nicholas knows the most common bacterial infection is due to pneumococcus. Lobar pneumonia is inflammation of the alveolar wall. Leakage of ...
Similarly, severe pneumonia challenges the circulating monocytes and resident tissue macrophages with a broad spectrum of microbial molecules. The subsequent activation of the inflammatory and coagulation systems causes the widespread activation of the endothelium with production of either local (e.g., ...
study, four patients died in the rituximab monotherapy group (infectious pneumonia [n = 2], aspiration pneumonia [n = 1], and exacerbation of the underlying disease [n = 1]), while none died in the combination therapy group, and remaining patients had no serious adverse events...
