Or bronchial pneumonia; inflammation of the lungs beginning in the terminal bronchioles.<\/p>\n
An inflammation of the smallest branches of the bronchial tubes, usually present in both lungs.<\/p>\n
Lungs and breathing tubes.<\/p>\n
An infectious inflammation of the bronchioles, which may lead to general infection of the lungs.<\/p>\n
Acute inflammation of the bronchi and of the alveoli of the lungs, characterized by fever, chills, shallow breathing, cough, and chest pain. It usually follows an earlier infection, starting at the smallest, most remote air channels (bronchioles) and resulting in the formation of pus and the clogging of those channels. Treatment is by bedrest, and antibiotics and oxygen, if necessary.<\/p>\n
Infection of the airway including the bronchi, bronchioles, and lung tissue.<\/p>\n
An infection of the tissues of the lungs that occurs principally in the smaller branches, called bronchioles, of the airways, or bronchial tubes. Bronchopneumonia, which is also called bronchial pneumonia, may be caused by bacteria such as pneumococci, staphylococci, and streptococci or by viruses such as the influenza virus. The disease may develop as a complication of a common cold or influenza. Some forms of bronchopneumonia are contagious.<\/p>\n
A type of pneumonia marked by scattered consolidation (areas filled with inflammatory exudate) in one or more lobes of the lung. It occurs primarily in infants and in elderly persons, both of whom have decreased resistance to bacterial and viral infections. It is often a complication of bronchitis.<\/p>\n
Bronchopneumonia is the prevailing type of pneumonia observed in clinical practice. In this form, inflammation is dispersed in small patches around the airways, affecting various areas within the lungs. On the other hand, lobar pneumonia is characterized by inflammation that is localized and confined to a single lobe of the lung.<\/p>\n
Inflammation of the lungs that begins in the bronchi, sometimes appearing as scattered and confined areas. In lobar pneumonia, an entire lobe of the lung is impacted.<\/p>\n
