State of local immunity in case of in-hospital pneumonia

Abstract

Examination of 67 patients with in-hospital pneumonia included determination of cytokine content and cell composition of liquids found as a result of bronchoalveolar lavage. The marked neutrophilia as a component of local inflammatory response was associated with pseudomonas pneumonia. The neutrophilia and large quantities of bronchial epithelium was characteristic of the pneumonia caused by Escherichia coli; neutrophil and macrophage cell composition of the bronchoalveolar liquid was indicative of staphylococcal pneumonia. The levels of soluble type I receptors of the tumor necrosis factor-α amounting to more than 700 pg/mL and interleukin-8 of over 1200 pg/ mL were the markers of pneumonia associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the interleukin-8 content of less than 300 pg/mL was indicative of the Staphylococcus aureus-induced pneumonia.
