Pneumonia:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The main symptoms of pneumonia are coughing, sputum production, pleuritic chest pain, shaking chills, shortness of breath, rapid shallow breathing, and fever. Physical signs vary widely, ranging from diffuse, fine crackles to signs of localized or extensive consolidation and pleural effusion. There may also be associated symptoms of headache, sweating, loss of appetite, excess fatigue, and confusion (in older people).
Complications include hypoxemia, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, empyema, lung abscess, and bacteremia, with spread of infection to other parts of the body, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis, and pericarditis.

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The patient typically has a history of an immunocompromising condition (such as HIV infection, leukemia, or lymphoma) or procedure (such as organ transplantation).
PCP begins insidiously with increasing shortness of breath and a nonproductive cough. Anorexia, generalized fatigue, and weight loss may follow. Although the patient may have hypoxemia and hypercapnia, he may not exhibit significant symptoms. He may, however, have a low-grade, intermittent fever.
Other signs and symptoms include tachypnea, dyspnea, accessory muscle use for breathing, crackles (in about one-third of patients), marked pallor, and decreased breath sounds (in advanced pneumonia). Cyanosis may appear with acute illness; pulmonary consolidation develops later.

Idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The presenting symptoms of BOOP are usually subacute, with a flulike syndrome of fever, persistent and nonproductive cough, dyspnea (especially with exertion), malaise, anorexia, and weight loss lasting for several weeks to several months. Physical assessment findings may reveal dry crackles as the only abnormality. Less common symptoms include a productive cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, generalized aching, and night sweats.

Vitamin C deficiency:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Clinical features of vitamin C deficiency appear as capillaries become increasingly fragile. In an adult, it produces petechiae, ecchymoses, follicular hyperkeratosis (especially on the buttocks and legs),anemia, anorexia, limb and joint pain (especially in the knees), pallor, weakness, swollen or bleeding gums, loose teeth, lethargy, insomnia, poor wound healing, and ocular hemorrhages in the bulbar conjunctivae. (See Scurvy’s effect on gums and legs.) Vitamin C deficiency can also cause beading,fractures of the costochondral junctions of the ribs or epiphysis, and such psychological disturbances as irritability, depression, hysteria, and hypochondriasis.
In a child, vitamin C deficiency produces tender, painful swelling in the legs, causing the child to lie with his legs partially flexed. Other symptoms include fever, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Assure coverage for resistantStreptococcus pneumoniae with vancomycin if there is a concernfor meningitis:
Meningitis Signs and Symptoms
(Avoiding Common Pediatric Errors)
Patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections, regardless of the
etiology (bacterial, viral, or other), generally present with similar clinical
features. The systemic signs of CNS infection include fever, malaise, and
impairment of essential organs (heart, lung, liver, or kidney function). For
older children and adults, the classic signs and symptoms suggesting CNS
infection include headache; stiff neck; fever or hypothermia; changes in
mental status, including hyperirritability evolving into lethargy and coma;
seizures; and focal sensory and motor deficits.
Infants and young children, however, may lack obvious signs of meningitis, and present with simple temperature instability rather than fever. Otherwise, lethargy, irritability, vomiting, and poor feeding are often signs of
CNS involvement in this group. Nuchal rigidity or a bulging fontanelle is
present in <50% of infants and young children with meningitis.

Community-acquired Pneumonia:
Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)
Recent reviews have suggested that the presence of an increased respiratory rate
may be the best method to distinguish lower respiratory tract infection from
the more common upper respiratory tract infections. The World Health
Organization has issued guidelines for the clinical diagnosis of pneumonia in
developing countries; the guidelines state that tachypnea and intercostal
retractions are the best indications of lower respiratory tract disease.
