Paciente masculino de 45 años diagnosticado con neumonía nosocomial

Nosocomial pneumonia is defined as an infection that affects the lung parenchyma and is acquired during a hospital stay, it is considered as this when it arises 48 to 72 hours after hospital admission or if it occurs after 7 days after medical discharge. (Mulet, 2008). It is very important to specify the type of bacterial etiology and its evolution. To recognize if it is an early nosocomial pneumonia or a late-onset nosocomial pneumonia, it is differentiated because the early one occurs between 48 to 96 hours after admission, and the late one is not yet fully defined. Nosocomial pneumonia is the intrahospital infection that is associated with a higher rate of morbidity and mortality (Díaz, 2013). Early-onset nosocomial pneumonia presents germs that are related to community-acquired pneumonia in addition to other inhaled pathogens in intubation or changes in consciousness. In contrast, late-onset nosocomial pneumonia occurs due to the inhalation of Gram negative germs present in the oropharynx and gastric secretions; these microorganisms are difficult to treat with common drugs. The diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia varies from patient to patient. There are different diagnostic modalities considered difficult to evaluate because it does not clearly have the gold standard with which to compare them. In general, to come to think of nosocomial pneumonia and ventilation-related pneumonia they are based on the relationship given between the clinical and radiological signs. (Goikoetxea, 2014).
