Pneumonic plague - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - pneumonic plague
При первичном инфицировании входными воротами являются слизистые оболочки респираторного тракта. С током лимфы бацилла попадает в регионарные лимфоузлы, где поглощается макрофагами. Незавершенный фагоцитоз способствует выживанию и размножению микробов внутри фагоцитов. В месте локализации патогена возникает серозно-геморрагическое воспаление. Паренхима легких становится полнокровной, формируется интерстициальный и альвеолярный отек. В процесс часто вовлекается плевра. Из-за токсинов повреждается эндотелий сосудов, образуются стазы, тромбы, очаги кровоизлияний, зоны некроза.
Попадание возбудителя в кровь способствует генерализации инфекции. Возникает бактериемия, появляются вторичные отсевы. Парез капилляров обуславливает нарушения функций сердечно-сосудистой системы, почек и других органов. Зараженные погибают от сердечной или дыхательной недостаточности. При сепсисе пациенты умирают от шока с ДВС-синдромом. Вторичная форма обусловлена заносом иерсиний в легочную ткань в результате бактериемии, в последующем патологический процесс развивается как при первичном типе патологии.
