You're not going to. Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 58 of the physician assistant exam review

podcast this week we're going to be continuing our discussion with pulmonary infections that I can see and probably infections all over

but I just it's coming into my head as I'm covering this

particular section is the idea that the nomenclature we use to discuss different diseases and

it's very obvious in pulmonology the way that we do things is not the best way

it just so happens that it's the way that we've always done them so we continue to do them that way

but that certainly doesn't make it the best the. And I think what that means and what I mean by that

is we say pneumonia, right? We call a disease pneumonia. Well that has to do with where the infection is. It doesn't have to do with

anything but where it is. We call something bronchitis. We call something

sinusitis, right, and all those to have to do with is where the location of the infection is right you could have RSV causing it you

could have strep pneumonia causing it you could have strep pneumonia causing it you could have you know all different

things can cause all of these different diseases so it's important that we

understand that part of the nomenclature but there's that part of the nomenclature,

for example, tuberculosis.

Well, tuberculosis is really only referring to

a disease caused by one particular bug.

So that's where things get a little bit different

and a little bit difficult.

For example, my friend of mine's mother recently,

he was telling me the story, she had a,

she got a cut on her hand while she was outside

and it wound up getting infected with Strep.
