presented with fever with chills, cough with
yellowish sputum & and respiratory distress
fever: an adaptive mechanism for controlling
infection, produced by certain exogenous (largely
microbial) stimuli that activate bone-marrow-derived
phagocytes to release a pyrogen

children aged 2
months to 2 years
treatment
Ribavirin
Palivizumab
Antibiotic Resistance
Enzymatic inactivation
Destruction of penicillin by
penicillinases enzymes.
Altered target
Changes in penicillin binding proteins. Mutational changes in original PBPs or
acquisition of different PBPs will lead to inability of the antibiotic to bind to the PBP
and inhibit cell wall synthesis
Decreased uptake
Porin channel formation is decreased. Since this is where
beta-lactams cross the outer membrane to reach the PBP of
Gram-negative bacteria, a change in the number or character of
these channels can reduce betalacta uptake
