  2. Pneumonitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonitis

    If unresolved, continued inflammation can result in irreparable damage such as pulmonary fibrosis. [4] Pneumonitis is distinguished from pneumonia on the basis of causation as well as its manifestation. Pneumonia can be described as pneumonitis combined with consolidation and exudation of lung tissue due to infection with microorganisms. [5]

    This has become a common diagnostic imaging for the diagnosis and is the modality used in the Official ATS/JRS/ALAT Clinical Practice Guideline. [12] Two forms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis are fibrotic and non-fibrotic findings on chest CT. The two differ in terms of their diagnostic work up and management although there is overall between them.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptogenic_organizing...

    "Organizing" refers to unresolved pneumonia (in which the alveolar exudate persists and eventually undergoes fibrosis) in which fibrous tissue forms in the alveoli.The phase of resolution and/or remodeling following bacterial infections is commonly referred to as organizing pneumonia, both clinically and pathologically.

    The diagnosis requires consistent symptoms with two additional signs: [citation needed] Chest X-ray or CT scan showing evidence of right middle lobe (or left lingular lobe) lung infection; Sputum culture or bronchoalveolar lavage culture demonstrating the infection is caused by MAC; Disseminated MAC is most readily diagnosed by one positive ...

  6. Pneumonia - Wikipedia

    Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli. [3] [14] Symptoms typically include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. [15]

  7. Viral pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_pneumonia

    Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in one or both of the lungs. The pulmonary alveoli fill with fluid or pus making it difficult to breathe. [1] Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. [1] Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children, while in adults bacteria are a more common cause. [2]

  8. Bacterial pneumonia - Wikipedia

    Diagnosis is carried out in steps. Patient history is obtained, including the symptoms and their duration, as well as exposure to any risk factors of the disease. A chest X-ray may be performed to check for signs of inflammation [5] and a complete blood count will also be obtained.

  9. Type 2 inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_inflammation

    Type 2 inflammation is a pattern of immune response. Its physiological function is to defend the body against helminths , but a dysregulation of the type 2 inflammatory response has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several diseases.
