Features and causes of pulmonary candidiasis

The fungal pneumonia of this species is caused by the fungus of the genus Candida, which refers to a conditioned pathogenic flora of a healthy organism. To occur, the disease does not always require infection from external media. Its causes are associated with the state of immunity. It is enough to weaken the protective functions of the body and the pathogen comes out of the latent state, it begins to reproduce actively. Favorable factors for the development of fungi are considered:

• prolonged antibiotic treatment;
• problems of the endocrine system;
• vulvovaginal candidiasis or thrush;
• immune deficit virus.

The risk of fungal lesions in the lungs increases any disease of the respiratory system, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, oncology.

Types of fungal lesions of the lungs by the type of pathogen

Candidoid pneumonia is not the only kind of fungal lung damage. Mycosis of this part of the body is classified by causative agent.

1. Aktinomycosis, infection is the result of the reproduction of actinomycetes, the symptoms of the initial shape resemble bronchitis or pneumonia, when the launched passes into the abscess of the lungs.
2. Streptotrichoz causes fungus under the name of trichomycetes, the flow of partly similar to the previous type of fungus, but develops to the state of the abscess faster, in the later stages of symptoms resembles tuberculosis.
3. Blastomicosis, another type with nonspecific signs similar to tuberculosis, can go to other organs, affect the skin, bone system.
4. Coccidiomycosis develops against the background of a lack of useful elements in a natural habitat, the causative agent is Coccidioides immitis, in a benign stage of the symptoms are poorly expressed, when the state is shouted to the progressive stage.
5. Aspergillosis, causes of occurrence are associated with microorganisms from a group of saprophyte, which relate to conditionally pathogenic, signs are abundant allocations of sputum with blood and gentle, the symptoms of fever.

Symptoms fungus in the lungs

On the early stage It is difficult to diagnose the symptoms of fungus in the lungs, they are nonspecific. Infection is similar to ordinary diseases Breath organs, pneumonia or bronchitis. With the further growth of the lesions, there is observed:

• temperature increase;
• fungal bronchitis, inflammation in bronchi makes breathing, shortness of breath arises;
• cough with sputum isolated with blood traces;
• the appearance of traces of pus in sputum;
• fast fatigue and rapid heartbeat on the background of physical exertion;
• tangible chest pain when inhaling or during coughing.

When the first disturbing symptoms and suspicion of the fungal nature of the infection, an urgent appeal to the doctor is necessary.

Diagnostics fungus in the lungs

Diagnosis of the disease involves the use of laboratory analysis methods, especially in the early stages. To put an accurate diagnosis, a biomaterial will be required, signs of fungus are found in sputum, fistulating discharge, the puncture of the lungs, blood test is taken. For these purposes, the doctor appoints:

• the study of sputum method of microscopy;
• bacterial sowing for detecting mycelium in fistula discharge;
• Reef Study (immunofluorescence reaction) for a kind of fungus.

The lung radiography method is used only with severe forms of pathology. This allows you to identify changes in bronchial trees, pleura and lung bodies, strain deformation. Diagnostics establishes the causes of infection, determines the degree of lesion and the species of the pathogen, its sensitivity to drugs. According to the results of diagnostic procedures, they choose a circle of effective drugs and therapy scheme.

Methods for the treatment of mikosa lungs

Treatment different species Fungal pneumonia is carried out medical means in tableted I. injection form. Symptoms of infection are removed by physiotherapeutic procedures and drugs that are withdrawing toxins. For general health recovery, special diet nutrition. To eliminate abscesses or infiltrates under the skin, surgical opening and drainage of necrotic savings are applied. With the failure of drug therapy, lobectomy can be assigned - an operation to remove part of the lung.

Popular preparations for the treatment of fungus of the lungs

In contrast to the outer species of mycoses, fungal lesions are treated with antibiotics. This affects pharmacological composition Complex therapy.

1. The mikotics in the form of tablets and injections are used to suppress the activity of the pathogen and its destruction. Of the many such drugs in this case, human, dieflican, hatchet, amphotericine "B" can be appointed in this case.
2. Antibiotics are intended to withdraw inflammatory processes, have an antibacterial effect, do not allow recurrences when used in preventive purposes. Usually in the therapeutic complex include Lev Room or Nystatin.
3. Immunostimulants help the body to regenerate antibodies to the causative agent of infection. The doctor may prescribe any drug from a large number of similar drugs, for example, thymogen, tilver, levamizol.

Dosage, the frequency of reception and the duration of treatment are determined by the doctor in each case, taking into account general status patient.

Folk methods of struggle

Treatment of the pulmonary fungus is not without folk remedies. Their use has a positive effect on the restoration of the body's protective functions, have a soothing effect on some symptoms:

• forest blackberry in the fresh form helps to relieve inflammation, calm the cough, prevents accumulation of mucus in bronchi;
• decorations and infusions from elders, calendulas, adonis and vowers strengthen the protective functions of the body;
• when a strong cough appears and difficulty breathing, helps the aloe chicken with honey, barzuccia fat and sweet wine;
• for the same purposes, you can use the radish juice mixed with honey and vodka.

Despite natural composition folk remedies, some of their components can cause unwanted consequences. Consultation with a specialist will help to avoid self-medication.

Complication of disease

In the heavy form of the fungus causes pathological destruction in bronchi, the abscess of the tissue of the lungs. There is deformation of the ribs, the form changes chestStrengthening painfulnessThinking fistulas are formed on the skin. Such a development of pathology can end fatly for the patient.

Preventive measures

Prevent fungus in the lungs will help common events for all types of mikoz. In the case of a pulmonary infection important condition Conservation of health is timely treatment Pneumonia, bronchitis, other similar diseases.

The fungus in the lungs is most often diagnosed with people with strongly reduced immunity. Candles most often mushrooms type Candida and leads to severe changes in lung tissues. Mycoses can be observed at any age, but more committed to such pathology patients with tuberculosis, oncological pathologies and those people who are long antibacterial drugs. The fungus in the lungs can be one of the symptoms of human immunodeficiency. Such pathology requires long and systemic treatment.

The reasons

Fungal lesion lungs rarely happens healthy people. Most often, such pathology is observed in people with immunodeficiency.. The causes of the occurrence of a lot of a lot, but the main provoking factors are:

• Prolonged reception of antibacterial drugs wide spectrum actions.
• Oncological diseases and long-term chemotherapy.
• Tuberculosis of any form.
• Diabetes of different types.
• Immunodeficiency states.
• Recurney of chronic diseases of internal organs.

Spores of fungi apply to the organism with hematogenic way. If there are fungal infections of the skin, intestines, genitals or oral cavity, with the blood flow of mycelium, can get into the breathing bodies and lead to the development of the disease.

Mycelium pathogenic fungi can penetrate the breathing organs when inhaling the smallest dust particles in which there are fungal disputes.

Symptoms

At the initial stage of the fungus in lungs, there is no specific signs and reminds respiratory disease or bronchitis. A sick person can disturb the dry cough, but sometimes with cough buses, a little viscous sputum moves. As the diseases of the fungus in the lungs are accompanied by such symptoms:

• Body temperature strongly increases. Although in some sick marks on the thermometer do not exceed subfebris.
• Breathing becomes difficult, a pronounced shortness of breath appears, even in a calm state.
• The volume of the discharge sputum increases significantly.
• The sputum becomes yellow, it is observed with blood linations.
• When inhaling a sick person feels pain in his chest.

If we consider the X-ray, then it can be noted that when candidiasis of light pleura becomes thicker, and changes are observed in bronchi. Ribbra is always exposed to strain from inflammatory process.

Fungal diseases of the lungs gradually cover the pleura and walls of the chest. It feels strong pain, the skin forms fistula through which purulent content comes out. The fungus is often discovered in sputum.

Most often, the fungus affects only one respiratory body and is localized mainly in its lower part. This pathology is characterized by a continuous and constant progressive course. At the very first stage, the disease is hardly diagnosed, since characteristic signs not yet. A little later, as the fungus spread, the mushrooms are observed in the lungs and in sputum, and the symptoms are becoming more. Squeeze channels and infiltrates under the skin appear.

If yeast-like mushrooms and mold in the lungs are too long, the body is strongly depleted and pronounced intoxication is observed.

Pathogenic fungi in the human body leads to a violation of a normal protein exchange, which strongly affects the work of important organs and systems.

Diagnostics

To accurately make a diagnosis, take on the analysis of the discharge wet and fluid from fistula strokes. In some cases, the lung puncture is carried out. Using a microscopic study, it is possible to detect mycelium fungus, and using a special reaction, the type of pathogen is determined.

In many cases, the disputes of mushrooms are not found in patients in sputum, so the analysis of a pus from fistulas or holding a bakposev is considered more efficient. Such analyzes help not only correctly define the pathogen, but also correctly choose drugs for the treatment of pathology.

The diagnosis on the X-ray picture at an early stage of the disease is impossible, since the mushrooms first do not cause morphological changes in tissues.

Treatment

The fungus in the lungs is treated with complex. Most often, the doctor appoints intramuscular, as well as the subcutaneous administration of actinolizat. This drug refers to immunostimulants, it increases the production of antibodies to different causative agents of infectious pathologies and reduces the severity of the inflammatory process. The duration of such treatment can reach up to 15 injections.

In mandatory, antibacterial drugs are prescribed, which are selected according to the results of Bakposev. Most often preference gives drugs penicillin row, big spectrum action. If there are allergies to such drugs, macrolides or sulfide drugs are prescribed.

Antibiotics are reduced by inflammation and reduce the risk of attaching a secondary infection during fungal lesions of the lung.

Abscesses and infiltrates are opened by surgical, cavities are washed with antifungal solutions and insert pipes for drainage. If the lungs are strongly affected by fungi, then the removal of part of the organ can be shown, this operation is called lobectomy.

Also indications for surgical intervention is the inefficiency of long medical treatment And the need to quickly eliminate residual phenomena after fungus. The indication for the operation can be cysts of light and bronchiectases of the upper respiratory organs.

Symptomatic treatment of Mikosa is also held respiratory tract. Patient prescribed oral antifungal agents, sorbents and blood plasma substitutes. In addition, the patient must necessarily strengthen the protective forces of the body, for this purpose, prescribe vitamin complexes.

To quickly eliminate the symptoms of the disease, physiotherapeutic procedures can be appointed. Most often assigned UFO to the chest area and electrophoresis with special medicinal preparations.

With early treatment, the forecast is very favorable. If the disease is already very launched and irreversible changes appeared, then the treatment is long and expensive, with further accession of the secondary infection can be a fatal outcome.

Folk treatments

Immediately it is worth noting that cured mycosis of light only one folk recipes unrealistic. Such methods will help strengthen the protective forces of the body, but they can only be applied in agreement with the doctor and simultaneously with prescribed drugs. The most effective in the treatment of fungal diseases are the following compounds:

• Pine honey. Such a drug helps good when treating fungus. Cook honey from young pine cones and pine escapes. Take the drug for a dessert spoon in front of the meal, richly floating with warm water.
• You can prepare antifungal composition of radish. One middle radish washes, purified and rubbed on the grater. Press the juice and stirred with a half cup of honey and the same amount of vodka. It is necessary to use such a composition on a teaspoon, once a day, without fail on an empty stomach.
• Tea of \u200b\u200btheir blackberry. You can brew berries, leaves and young shoots. This tool is considered very effective against fungi.
• Aloe. The juice of a five-year or older plant is stirred with honey, korgore and barcurate fat in a 1: 1 ratio, take three times a day on a teaspoon.

Folk treatments can be combined or alternating. But do not forget that all actions need to be coordinated with the doctor.

In order to prevent the mikosa of lungs, you need to inhibit infectious and chronic diseases. Do not run fungal lesions of the oral cavity and genital organs. It should be understood that with a blood flow of pores, fungus can get into the respiratory organs.

The fungal microflora can spread throughout the human body, causing not only exterior, but also internal defeats. The most dangerous fungus in the lungs. This type of fungal lesion is characterized by blurred symptoms, due to which a long time can flow without treatment.

In most cases, the cause of the development of the lesion is the conditionally pathogenic yeast fungus of the Candida type. This type of fungus is present in human organism And part of normal microflora. Fungi genus Candidas are detected approximately 70% of the population. In the inactive state of the fungus is not hazarded, its population is constrained by its own immunity. Under the action of various factors negatively affecting immune defense, there is a rapid increase in the population of this fungus. Food for Claims are useful microorganisms that protect the mucous membranes and internal organs. Symptoms of fungal lesions appear when normal microflore It takes advantage towards fungal dispute.

The fungus in the lungs may be a consequence:

• long-term antibacterial therapy;
• prima corticosteroids;
• HIV infection;
• metabolic disorders;
• hormone imbalance;
• diabetes;
• avitaminosis;
• imminent immunity;
• constant stress.

All listed states and diseases lead to the weakening of immune defense. Long-term unsystematic reception of antibiotics and corticosteroids violates normal operation immune system.

The rapid increase in the population of fungal microflora is also observed against the background of hormonal disorders and endocrine disorders. Diseases such as diabetes are increasing the frequency of fungal diseases.

Another factor provoking the development of Mikosa is constant stress and nervous disorders. In violation of work nervous system There are various malfunctions in the body, including imminent disorders.

Candida is present in most people, but only with a decrease in immunity manifests itself

General symptoms

With fungus in light symptoms, the usual cold or bronchitis is largely reminded. A person notes minor deterioration of well-being, a productive cough appears, disrupted by breathing.

Common symptoms include:

• bred cough;
• pain syndrome in the field of bronchi;
• abundant isolation of sputum;
• intermittent breathing or shortness of breath.

The disease develops quite slowly, but over time the symptoms deteriorate significantly. Night sweating appears, violations are noted heart Rhythm. The pronounced shortness of breath can lead to the night attacks of choking. The cough becomes stronger if the initial stage is observed single casing, as the fungal infection progressing is progressing, a heavy and adsatory parlor cough appears.

In particularly severe cases, symptoms of strong intoxication of the body appear, infiltrates are formed in the lungs. Sometimes the body temperature can increase. Inxication of the fungus leads to a general decline in forces, the wet is highlighted in large quantities, the presence of pus or blood is possible in the separated.

Cough with mocroid - the main sign of pathology

Types of disease

Symptoms and treatment depends on what kind of fungus caused lung defeat. The disease can be provoked by representatives of the class of yeast or mold fungi.

In general, the symptoms of two types of pathology are the same, there is only a mechanism for the development and causes of the disease. No one is insured against yeast-like fungi damaged fungi.

Not much less often is the defeat of mold fungi or aspergillic.

The most dangerous form of the disease is pulmonary aspergilloma. Pathology develops against the background of the already existing infection with a koche or sarcoidosis wand. Infection of mold fungi is often diagnosed in HIV-infected patients.

With yeast-like fungi in the lungs, signs and symptoms of bronchitis, ARVI appear. The disease can long be asymptomatic, cough with abundant moocroty periodically appears.

The damage to mold fungi is accompanied by severe symptoms:

• fever;
• chills;
• cough with blood;
• cachexia;
• prostration;
• nausea with vomiting.

For infection with mold fungi, pronounced intoxication is characterized. In particularly severe cases, the function of the kidneys and liver is disturbed.

Diagnostics

Symptoms The lungs are not allowed to put an accurate diagnosis, the diagnosis requires laboratory studies to accurately determine the type of pathogen. For this make the lung puncture followed by the analysis of the content. Also on the analysis is directed by the sputum.

Detection of the pathogen is necessary for the proper compilation of the therapy scheme. During the analysis, a test for the sensitivity of pathogenic microflora to different types Antifungal medicines.

The pulmonary x-ray for the diagnosis of fungal infection is little-informative. On the initial stages Infection with fungus, the results of x-ray examination are similar to signs of pneumonia or heavy bronchitis.

To form a diagnosis, you will need a laboratory study of sputum or even lung tissue

Principle of treatment

The fungal lesion of the lungs belongs to the severe forms of Mikosa. Treatment involves the reception at the same time several drugs of different groups:

• antibiotics;
• antimicotics (antifungal agents);
• immunostimulants.

The fungal microflora localized in the lungs is a favorable medium to attach a secondary infection, or develops against the background of the already existing infectious lesions of the organ. This causes the severity of symptoms and such nonspecific signs of fungus, as a deposit of a pus with a mocrytio when coughing. For elimination bacterial infection Reception of antibiotics is required.

The preparations of a wide range of action are usually used:

• Rifampicin;
• Erythromycin;
• Azithromycin;
• Amoxiclav.

These drugs reduce the risk of developing bacterial lung diseases and are struggling with infection, but do not provide antifungal action, Therefore, applied as auxiliary.

To combat pathogenic microflora, assign:

• Nystatin;
• Lev Room;
• Itraconazole;
• Fluconazole;
• Diflucan.

These drugs are available in capsules and tablets. With fungal infection in the lungs require a long course of therapy. The minimum course of treatment is two weeks.

Antifungal drugs must be complemented by antibiotics

Scheme of therapy should be only a doctor. The fact is that some types of fungi quickly develop resistance to medicines. As a result, the effectiveness of therapy falls rapidly. In this case, the reception is practiced immediately antifungal drugs. The doctor may first appoint the reception of Nistatin, then the reception of itraconazole for some time, and after therapy, continue with fluconazole. It is impossible to choose a scheme of therapy on their own, so you should trust an experienced doctor. Self-treatment and incorrectly chosen dosages of drugs can lead to terrifying consequences in the expanding of the mushroom mycelium, up to death.

The treatment must be complemented by immunostimulants. These drugs support immunity during the reception of potent drugs from fungus, and also help to deal with infection by the forces of their own organism.

It is advisable to take a tactual or thymogen as immunostimulants.

Folk remedies in the treatment of fungus of lungs are ineffective. Apply them unsafe. Therapy should be carried out only with potent antifungal drugs. Funds folk Medicine Can reduce the effectiveness of drug therapy and cause dangerous complications.

Complications for fungus

When symptoms are found, it is necessary to obtain a consultation of the attending physician about how to treat the fungus of the lungs. The absence of timely therapy may cause dangerous complications.

With damage to yeast-like fungi clauses, serious breathing problems are developing. Because of the edema of mucous and nasopharynx, the symptoms are exacerbated at night. In particularly severe cases, candidal lung damage can lead to death from choking in a dream.

The most dangerous form of lesion by mold mushrooms is a pulmonary aspergilloma. The disease is a tumor consisting of mycelium fungus. Aspergilloma can be asymptomatic for a long time, while the mycelium in the lungs continues to grow. In the end, coughing with blood appears. Aspergilloma may cause fatal outcome of internal bleeding.

With fungal infection, it is possible to form fistulas in the lungs. It can also lead to death.

Prevention

It is very difficult to protect yourself from fungal defeat, because the disease can even cause the usual mold. Only effective method Prevention is to maintain immunity. It is necessary to eat correctly, to lead an active lifestyle, to inhibit any cold and infectious diseases in a timely manner.

Prevent complications for fungal infection will help timely treatment.

Fungi - The same natural inhabitants of our microflora, like bacteria. However, excessive amounts are also dangerous and causes various diseases.

Mushroom bronchitis is treated special drugsStandard antibiotics or inhalation will be ineffective.

What symptoms of fungal bronchitis allow it to suspect it, and what treatment will be correct?

Fungal defeat of the lungs is rare enough.

Basically, it happens in persons with a sharply reduced immunity.

Mechanism of getting fungus in the respiratory tract one - together with blood flow.

Where in the blood takes increased quantity fungus?

Here are already possible two options:

1. Activation of own fungal flora.
2. Hit the filaments of the fungus from the air.

The probability of fungus from the outside depends on the territorial location and conditions of human residence. Usually, these are mushrooms kind Aspergillus. More Their action will be discussed below.

Types of pathologies

Symptoms of fungal lesions of lungs and respiratory tract slightly different, dependence on the cause of the occurrence. When activating its own flora, candidiasis of respiratory tract is most often found. If the yarns come from aspergillez.

Symptoms of candidide lungs

Candidiasis occurs as complicing another system infectionwhich was treated with antibacterial drugs.

Frequently found candidiasis of the upper respiratory tract
After pneumonia, suppurations complicated by the diseases of the oral cavity.

The main symptom of the candidiasis is a wet painful cough. However, in addition, candidiasis of bronchi causes:

1. Saddy.
2. Bronchospasty syndrome.
3. Fever.
4. Tachycardia.
5. Chest pain.

This species is often accompanied by defeat gastrointestinal tract With foci of inflammation and even necrosis. Small bronchi with candidiasis of the lungs is almost always amazed, and the fungus sprouts through the wall of the bronchial tree. On the upper respiratory tract, this is extremely rare.

Hormonal drugs can also provoke the reproduction of fungal flora.

Symptoms fungus in the lungs often resemble, so additional methods Research is required.

Aspergillosis of the lungs

Aspergillas fall through ventilation, air humidifiers, old books, soil, pigeons, rotting grass and other sources.

Amazed predominantly respiratory tract in which something like something like allergic perestroika and the destructive process.

- The main symptom of this type of mycosis.

More susceptible to such infection Saudi Arabia and people suffering diabetes. This type of bronchitis is not infected. Aspergillosis manifests itself:

1. Hemochking (due to toxic action Mushrooms on the vessels).
2. Gezelia germination, the formation of areas of necrosis visible on x-ray.
3. Attars of suffocation.

It may be accompanied by the damage to the sinus of the nose and the appearance of spherical formations, as well as to have a chronic current.

Diagnostics

Main ways to identify pneumomicosis - x-ray and sputum analysis. At the picture of X-ray, the pathology can be seen by specific rounded formations.

Specific type of fungus is already determined laboratory methods. Treatment of fungus in the lungs depends on the identified pathogen. With a lung candidiasis, a sputum microscopy shows the mushrooms of the genus Candida, with aspergillosis - genus aspergillus..

Treatment fungus in the lungs

Regardless of the type of fungus detected, patients are shown a lining and immunostimulating therapy. Directly combating fungus is carried out by antifungal drugs. The doctor may appoint one of the following funds.:

1. Itraconazole.
2. Voriconazole.
3. Nystatin.
4. Levuelin.

In severe cases, operational intervention can be shown. As a rule, does not imply the definition of a specific type of pathogen. With fungal defeat, this is done necessarily to choose a suitable drug for treatment.

Independent reception of antifungal agents are unacceptable!

Complications

In case of untimely treatment, large foci of necrosis and the spread of infection in neighboring tissues appear. Symptoms begin to increase and can lead to death from choking.

Prevention

Prevention measures relate to:

1. Regular checking air conditioners, air ducts, raw surfaces for the presence of aspergill dispute.
2. Improving the patient's immunity.
3. Regular disinfection in hospitals.
4. Eating only fresh, unlucky products.
5. The use of air filters indoors.
6. The simultaneous reception of antifungal drugs in the preventive dose during antibiotic therapy.

Regular profiles from doctors and radiographs will help to identify infection in time that can flow into chronic form and asymptomatic.

Popular treatment

There are several folk remedies that are quite effectively killing fungus in sputum at an early stage. Natural tools, as a rule, simultaneously have several effects, among which - immunostimulating. This is especially important for fungal defeat. We use popularity:

1. Calendula.
2. Elder.
3. Thyme.
4. Adonis.
5. Honey.
6. Ball grease.

Of them prepare brazers, infancy and syrups that have antibacterial properties. Effectively use of compresses.

For example, the compress from the radish is done so: radiate is heated, wrapped in gauze and applied to the respiratory tract as mustard pieces.

Radic can be taken inward. For this prepares syrup with the addition of vodka and flower honey. Take the remedy you need only a teaspoon per day. This contributes to the death of fungus.

It can also be effective with the help of folk remedies. Many of the gifts of nature can be used for prevention, preventing the development of any alien pathogen.

Folk remedies are effective only at the initial stages of fungal bronchitis and are very useful for prevention.

Video about Candidiasis

Elena Malysheva will tell about what candidiasis is.

The fungus (candidiasis) is the most common and difficult-scale disease. It can affect skin and internal organs. This disease has many species, and each of them requires special treatment.

Most. dangerous disease, the causative agent of which is a fungus from the genus Candida, the candidiasis of the lungs is considered. In this case, this ailment may entail serious complications in the form of changes in respiratory organs. It requires immediate treatment under the control of the doctor. This type of fungus may affect the respiratory organs from any person, regardless of gender and age.

In some cases, pulmonary candidiasis may be accompanied by tuberculosis, pneumonia, oncology or abscesses. The appearance of fungus in the lungs can be a sign of a violation of the protective functions of the immune system, which is provoked by the human immunodeficiency virus acquired or congenital virus.

Causes of the appearance of a pulmonary candidide

The causative agent of the disease is a fungus from the genus Candida, which is rightfully considered the most common in nature and is part of the microflora of the body in each person. In principle, these microorganisms do not harm, and in some cases - perform useful functions.

However, when their number exceeds permissible normThey bring a lot of trouble. Like all kinds of fungus, candida love moisture and glucose. For increased content Sugar in the body The pulmonary candidiasis begins to actively develop.

Development and active increase in fungus in the lungs contributes to the following:

A fungus that is localized in the lungs, doctors classify depending on what degree of lesion of tissues and how much the process has spread. The classification of the pulmonary candidiasis looks like this:

Symptoms of the disease

Candidiasis in the lungs has some signs of simple pneumonia. The process of inflammation itself is found mainly in the lower lobe of the lung and only sometimes they are celebrated in the upper part. In the process of the disease, patients complain about weakness, loss of appetite, a slight increase in body temperature, cough.

In addition, expectorations can appear with blood admixture, shortness of breath, pain in the localization area fungus and increased sweating.

The main distinguishing feature at the pulmonary fungus was the complete lack of a clear picture when listening. The pulmonary candidiasis is distinguished by the fact that when using antibiotics, the patient becomes only worse.

In addition, the process pretty quickly pulls the pleura and when conducting puncture, you can reveal with blood with blood. Candidiasis in respiratory organs is hard enough, and its treatment requires great effort.

In case of the appearance of a disease in small children, the fungus of this species causes them quite serious complications.

Passed pulmonary candidiasis in children is hard, often in septic or acute form And it can entail a fatal outcome.

Diagnostics

Candidiasis treats in the lungs such a specialist as a pulmonologist, therapist or infectiousist. In the primary inspection of the patient, the doctor first must turn his attention to the development of the ailment, body temperature and the duration of the symptoms.

In the first stage of the disease, after the pulmonary radiography, a strong change may not be detected in the patient. Therefore, it is very important to undergo a sputum analysis, which will accurately tell the presence of fungus.

Treatment fungus in respiratory organs

To cure candidiasis in the lungs, you will need to accept a whole list of antimicotic drugs. These include:

In addition, in medical practice, the combination of antibiotics and antimicotics is often used together with antifungal drugs.

also in complex treatmentwhich requires fungus in the lungs, immunostimulants are used.

Basically, experts appoint their inhalation patients. This method can significantly reduce the risk of appearance. side Effectswhich may be accompanied by the reception of system antimicotics. Often, patients are prescribed inhalation with sodium salts Levoevin.

Complication of fungus in the lungs

In the event that the pulmonary disease is running, it can be very dangerous to human health.

Due to inactivity or improper treatment, the patient may change the tissue of respiratory organs, sclerosis or fibrosis may appear.

Secondary infectious or viral infections And respiratory failure appear. In addition to the above person, a sepsis may occur with the fungus of the lungs.

Prevention of pulmonary candidiasis

Among the preventive measures to prevent the appearance of a pulmonary candidiasis, doctors recommend in a timely manner for the treatment of fungal infection, which strikes the skin and the urogenital system.

It is the listed aids that are the reason that the fungus penetrates into the internal organs and amazes them. Prevention of this unpleasant disease is to control their health and adherence to personal hygiene. At the first manifestations, the fungus should be visited by a specialist and refrain from self-treatment.
