| desquamative interstitial pneumonia | Diffuse proliferation of alveolar epithelial cells, which desquamate into the air sacs and become filled with macrophages, accompanied by interstitial cellular infiltration and fibrosis; gradual onset of dyspnea and nonproductive cough occurs. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| desquamative pneumonia | Relatively rare form of pneumonia with homogeneous filling of alveolar air spaces with macrophages and a few type II epithelial lining cells, some alveolar septal infiltration with inflammatory and connective tissue cells. Usually idiopathic but some cases have been reported in association with drugs or underlying systemic connective tissue disease. Rarely progresses to end-stage lung disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double pneumonia | <chest medicine> Lobar pneumonia involving both lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunization, pneumococcal pneumonia | This vaccine, which prevents one of the most common and severe forms of pneumonia, is usually given only once in a lifetime, usually after the age of 55, to someone with ongoing lung problems (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) or asthma) or other chronic diseases (including those involving the heart and kidneys). This vaccination would rarely be given to children. (12 Dec 1998) |
| influenzal pneumonia | Pneumonia complicating influenza, pneumonia due to Haemophilus influenzae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| influenzal virus pneumonia | Serious, often fatal form of pneumonia caused by a virus of the influenzal type. Occurs in epidemics and pandemics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial giant cell pneumonia | A rare complication of measles, with the postmortem finding of multinucleated giant cells lining alveoli. Synonym: Hecht's pneumonia, interstitial giant cell pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial plasma cell pneumonia | <chest medicine> A pneumonia caused by an infection with Pneumocystis carinii. Pneumocystis carinii grows rapidly in the lungs of patients with immunosuppression, particularly due to AIDS and is the leading AIDS-related cause of death. Pneumocystis carinii infection sometimes may occur elsewhere in the body (skin, eye, spleen, liver or heart). It is considered one of the diagnostic criteria for AIDS in an HIV positive individual. (10 Jan 1998) |
| interstitial pneumonia | <chest medicine> A form of pneumonia which involves the interstitial tissues (connective tissue) of the lung. Causes are varied and include: infection with Pneumocystis carinii, radiation exposure, toxic inhalation, viral pneumonias and giant cell pneumonia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
