| pneumococcal p. |
a type of acute pneumonia usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, with inflammation of one or more lobe(s) of the lung; characteristics include chills followed by sudden fever, dyspnea, tachypnea, pain in the side, and coughing with bloodstained sputum.

In most patients this is followed by the stage of resolution, during which the exudates degenerate and are absorbed. Called also lobar p.
