Paracancroic pneumonia - what is it?

Paracancroic pneumonia (ICD 10) is a disease that affects people with lung cancer. This ailment appears only in the outbreak of malignant neoplasm and is the main culprit in the rapid death of a person if treatment has not been started in time.

The cause of paracancreatic pneumonia

In most cases, people do not pay due attention to their own health. Rarely does anyone think about the dangers of fatty foods, excessive drinking and smoking, which are the main provocateurs of the appearance of cancer. In turn, malignant neoplasm causes paracancroic pneumonia.

The second cause of this disease lies in the manifestations of the common cold. As a rule, most people ignore the visit to the doctor, preferring to be treated at home. It is these causes that are responsible for the appearance of pneumonia. And if you do not completely cure this ailment, the chances of developing lung cancer become quite high. As a result, on the background of weakened malignant neoplasm of immunity, paracancrotic pneumonia develops. The reasons for the appearance of this disease we examined.

What is the danger of this disease?

пневмония. The most dangerous factor, which complicates an already serious disease (lung cancer), is paracancrosis pneumonia. As described above, this kind of ailment appears only with a malignant neoplasm in the lung. The situation becomes like a vicious circle. Lung cancer provokes pneumonia, in turn, this inflammation accelerates the growth of a malignant tumor.

Possible complications

In addition, paracancroic pneumonia gives impetus to the development of several more dangerous diseases, namely:

• Pleurisy;
• Sepsis;
• Respiratory and heart failure;
• Dysfunction of internal organs.

The danger of this disease is that when there is paracancroce pneumonia, there is no body to fight this disease. The reason is that the cancer destroys the immune system. Therefore, a person can simply die, if treatment has not been started in time.

Paracancroic pneumonia: symptoms

It is quite difficult to detect this type of pneumonia in lung cancer. The reason is that the symptoms in both diseases are very similar. But at the same time there are some minor differences that we will try to consider below.

Signs of lung cancer :

• The disease progresses gradually;
• Body temperature does not increase more than 38 degrees, while antibiotics do not give effect;
• An x-ray indicates the presence of a tumor.

Signs of paracancroic pneumonia:

• The onset of the disease is acute and rapid;
• Symptoms of the disease are pronounced;
• Body temperature reaches 39 degrees;
• Antibiotics help to bring down the fever;
• On the X-ray, new shadows are visible;
• A person develops shortness of breath, severe sweating and asthenic syndrome.

In addition to these signs, there may be attacks of severe cough that does not bring relief. Sometimes such a symptom can increase to a state of suffocation, while the sputum is excreted with an admixture of pus, and in severe cases, blood appears.

Diagnosis and detection of the disease

We talked about a disease such as paracancrotic pneumonia. What it is, it became clearer.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to determine the presence of pneumonia. Since it is difficult to see a relatively small lesion that hides behind a cancerous tumor. As for the symptoms, they are often written off for the influence of malignant neoplasm, or they are almost invisible against the background of progressive cancer.

To reveal this disease with the help of an X-ray is not possible for the reason that additional spots can be mistaken for new foci of malignant neoplasm.

For today the basic diagnostics is spent by means of analyzes of a blood, urine and a sputum. It is worth noting that at the moment absolutely all people suffering from this serious illness must necessarily undergo such a method of examination.

Paracancroic pneumonia - treatment

Treatment of paracancroic pneumonia includes a whole range of specific activities, namely:

• medications;
• Physiotherapy;
• With complications, surgical intervention.

When this pathology is detected, it is not recommended to treat two ailments simultaneously, because the immune system of a sick person is very weak and it simply can not withstand such therapy. Therefore, first of all they start to destroy the infection, so that it does not complicate the tumor disease.

Paracancroznaya pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. And to prevent intoxication of the body, the person additionally uses osmotic drugs. It is worth noting that antibiotics take no more than four weeks. Such a period of time is enough to defeat the infection.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment. For the patient will be very useful therapeutic exercise, respiratory gymnastics and magnetic therapy.

The need for surgical intervention

As for surgical intervention, it is used only in cases when a person has pleurisy. And if this affliction manifests itself, it is necessary to drain the pleural cavity in order to pump out the liquid and do the washing. As a rule, washing is performed with a solution of antibiotics and antiseptics.

The complex of treatment is supplemented with the intake of vitamin preparations. This is one of the mandatory conditions for successful treatment, since the patient has greatly reduced immune defense. And in order to rule out the manifestation of dysbiosis, probiotics are added to the intake of vitamin preparations.

Paracancroznaya pneumonia is treated quite easily. The reason for a possible lethal outcome of a person is only that the disease is extremely difficult to identify. In some cases, the diagnosis is established when it is too late.

Consequences of paracancreatic pneumonia

Because of paracancreatic pneumonia, certain complications can develop that lead to death in the event of untimely care, namely:

• Sepsis. If a large number of irritants enter the blood, they provoke inflammation in almost all organs of man.
• Respiratory failure. There is a malfunction in the respiratory system. Or there is an inability of the lungs to absorb oxygen.
• Pleurisy. There is inflammation of the pleural membranes due to the appearance of fluid in the pleural region.
• Multiple organ failure. This kind of defect is characterized by a malfunction of most human organs.
• Atelectasis. The area of the lung is soldered, and the ability to fill with oxygen disappears. This, in turn, leads to malfunctioning of the entire human body.

Paracancroic pneumonia with untimely treatment leads to death. And this must always be remembered. Therefore, if a person decides to be treated at home without consulting a doctor, this can be very dangerous for him. It will be more correct to apply to a medical institution for help.
