|---|---|
| COP | i colloid osmotic pressure in interstitial fluid |
| DIF | diffuse interstitial fibrosis; direct immunofluorescence; dose increase factor |
| DIFP | diffuse interstitial fibrosing pneumonitis; diisopropyl fluorophosphonate |

| tularaemic pneumonia | <chest medicine> Tularaemia with pulmonary lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| typhoid pneumonia | Pneumonia complicating typhoid fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| klebsiella pneumonia | <radiology> Acute, fulminating form, diabetics, alcoholics, chronic form, associated with underlying lung disease, unusual in infants and children (but may be epidemic), mortality about 50% (less in epidemic form), death often in 48 hours, XR findings: alveolar exudate most likely to be increased lung volume (12 Dec 1998) |
| unresolved pneumonia | Pneumonia in which the alveolar exudate persists and eventually undergoes fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic pneumonia | Terminal infective pneumonia occurring in a patient with uraemia. See: uraemic lung (05 Mar 2000) |

| Friedlander's pneumonia | A form of pneumonia caused by infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae (Friedlander's bacillus), characteristically severe and lobar in distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipid pneumonia | Lipoid pneumonia, pulmonary condition marked by inflammatory and fibrotic changes in the lungs due to the inhalation of various oily or fatty substances, particularly liquid petrolatum, or resulting from accumulation in the lungs of endogenous lipid material, either cholesterol from obstructive pneumonitis or following fracture of a bone; phagocytes containing lipid are usually present. Synonym: oil pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar pneumonia | Pneumonia affecting one or more lobes, or part of a lobe, of the lung in which the consolidation is virtually homogeneous; commonly due to infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae; sputum is scanty and usually of a rusty tint from altered blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| loeffler pneumonia | <radiology> Idiopathic, local, nonsegmental areas of TRANSIENT consolidation, most dense at periphery, reversed oedema pattern, peripheral eosinophilia, benign course differentiate from: chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, mucoid impaction (with or without ABPA) (12 Dec 1998) |
