  1. Bronchopneumonia

    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.It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia; but, in clinical practice, the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. The same organism may cause one type of pneumonia in one patient, and another in a different patient.

  1. bronchopneumonia

    Bronchopneumonia is a type of pneumonia that causes inflammation in the alveoli in the lungs, stemming from a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. The condition, which is a form of lower respiratory tract infection, usually starts in the bronchi, then progresses into the lungs, leading to patchy consolidation in the lung fields often detected on an X-ray. Related symptoms may include fever, cough, shortness of breath and fatigue.
