Pulmonology. Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia characterized by inflammatory exudate within the intra-alveolar space resulting in consolidation that affects a large and continuous area of the lobe of a lung. [ 1][ 2] It is one of three anatomic classifications of pneumonia (the other being bronchopneumonia and atypical pneumonia ).

Classification of pneumonia. Pneumonia can be classified in several ways, most commonly by where it was acquired (hospital versus community), but may also by the area of lung affected or by the causative organism. [ 1] There is also a combined clinical classification, which combines factors such as age, risk factors for certain microorganisms ...
122,000 (2015) [ 2] Interstitial lung disease ( ILD ), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease ( DPLD ), [ 3] is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue) and space around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. [ 4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and ...
Bronchopneumonia is a subtype of pneumonia. It is the acute inflammation of the bronchi, accompanied by inflamed patches in the nearby lobules of the lungs. [1] It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia; but, in clinical practice, the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. [2] Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to ...
Usual interstitial pneumonia ( UIP) is a form of lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of both lungs. [ 1] The scarring ( fibrosis) involves the pulmonary interstitium (the supporting framework of the lung). UIP is thus classified as a form of interstitial lung disease .
2.74 million (2015) [2] Lower respiratory tract infection ( LRTI) is a term often used as a synonym for pneumonia but can also be applied to other types of infection including lung abscess and acute bronchitis. Symptoms include shortness of breath, weakness, fever, coughing and fatigue. [3] A routine chest X-ray is not always necessary for ...
