Introduction into infections of the respiratory tract

?
What are there 450 million cases of each year?
Viral Pneumonia
1 of 13
Post-operative patients are a risk group for respiratory virus infections due to
Diminished cough reflex
2 of 13
Bad physiological state of some people contribute to severity of disease, this may be due to
Malnutrition

LRT
5 of 13
In addition to the superior and middle lobes, the third lobe of the lung is called?
Inferior

What do lung macrophages produce to attract other immune cells?
Chemoattractants
9 of 13
This cell produces watery proteinaceous secretion assisting with surfactant and mucin
Clara
10 of 13

11 of 13
Following a lung infection, what occurs in the alveoli after macrophage signalling?
Neutrophil infiltration
