| intrauterine pneumonia | Foetal pneumonia contracted in utero and manifesting itself in the early neonatal period. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| obstructive pneumonia | Infection of lung resulting from obstruction of airway, by narrowing resulting from previous disease process, persistent bronchospasm, thick secretions or by aspiration of a foreign body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oil 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) |
| organised pneumonia | Unresolved pneumonia in which fibrous tissue forms in the alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ovine progressive pneumonia | A chronic, progressive, contagious interstitial pneumonitis of sheep in Europe and the U.S. Caused by a "slow virus" (family Lentiviridae); it is now believed that maedi and visna are two histopathological and clinical manifestations of the same viral infection. Synonym: ovine progressive pneumonia. Origin: Icelandic, dyspnea (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal pneumonia | Pneumonia occurring in the course of some other disease near its fatal termination. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eaton agent pneumonia | An acute systemic disease with involvement of the lungs, caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and marked by high fever, cough, relatively few physical signs, and scattered densities on X-rays; usually associated with development of cold agglutinins and antibodies to the bacteria. Synonym: atypical pneumonia, Eaton agent pneumonia, mycoplasmal pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embolic pneumonia | Infarction following embolization of a pulmonary artery or arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| traumatic pneumonia | Inflammation of the lungs following a severe blow on or compression of the chest, or following a wound of the lung itself. Synonym: traumatic pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enzootic pneumonia | A pneumonia of sheep caused by the bacterium Pasteurella haemolytica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic pneumonia | A self-limiting inflammation in the lungs where there is associated infiltration of eosinophils into lung tissue. Chest X-ray reveals pulmonary infiltrates and full blood count (CBC) shows increased numbers of eosinophils. The cause is unknown and the disease often resolves without treatment. Some forms may be treated with oral corticosteroids. Complications include restrictive cardiomyopathy due to fibrosis of the lining of the heart. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
