Abstract

Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in elderly patients. Establishing a diagnosis of CAP in elderly patients is a challenge for clinicians considering that the symptoms are not always typical and specific. The following is a case report of a 72-year-old woman with a diagnosis of CAP without any previous complaints of shortness of breath. There is an infiltrate on chest X-ray and symptoms of cough, productive sputum, fever, and leukocytosis confirm the diagnosis of CAP in this patient. The patient was given antibiotic levofloxacin 1 x 750 mg until Klebsiella pneumoniae was found in the sputum culture results.

Abstract

One of the defense systems possessed by the respiratory tract is mucociliary transport. In order for this system to work properly, coordination of 3 components is required, namely: the motile cila, the periciliar layer (PCL), and the mucus layer. The mucus layer will catch foreign particles that enter the respiratory tract. The motile cilia will push the mucus to keep moving towards the proximal airway until it finally reaches the oropharynx and is swallowed. Cilia movement is certainly influenced by PCL which is a medium for cilia to move. In some lung diseases, this component can be impaired so that the mucociliary transport process does not work effectively.
