| pneumonia, viral | Pneumonia caused by a virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| pneumonia virus of mice | An RNA virus of the genus Pneumovirus, a member of the family Paramyxoviridae, occurring normally as latent infection in laboratory mice, but capable of activation by serial intranasal passage and causing pneumonia. Synonym: PVM virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumonia with chest-wall involvement | <radiology> Actinomyces israelii, Nocardia asteroides (12 Dec 1998) |
| contusion 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) |
| core pneumonia | A form of pneumonia in which exudation is confined for a time to the central portion of a lobe or the hilar region. Synonym: core pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycoplasmal 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) |
| mycoplasma pneumonia | <radiology> Usually age less than 40 yrs (12 Dec 1998) |
| mycoplasma pneumonia of pigs | A worldwide chronic pneumonia usually involving only the anterior lobes; it seldom causes death but is responsible for much unthriftiness; it is caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Synonym: virus pneumonia of pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postoperative pneumonia | Pneumonia following surgery due to viral or bacterial infection or pulmonary atelectasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary atypical 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) |
| Hecht's 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) |
| progressive pneumonia | A chronic progressive, viral disease of sheep and goats manifested as maedi or visna in different parts of the world. See: maedi, visna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive pneumonia virus | A retrovirus (subfamily Lentivirinae) that is the cause of maedi; it is very similar to the visna virus Synonym: medi virus, progressive pneumonia virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hospital acquired pneumonia | A type of pneumonia that is caused by bacteria contracted during a hospitalisation. These hospital-acquired infections tend to be more difficult to treat due to the bacteria's relative resistance to common forms of antibiotic therapy. Risk of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection is a major determinant when a physician decides whether or not the risks outweigh the benefits concerning necessity for hospitalisation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| purulent pneumonia | Pneumonia caused by an organism that produces pus, implying that there can be destruction of lung tissue with permanent changes; usually sputum contains pus. Staphylococci, haemolytic streptococci, and Friedlander's bacillus are typical causes, as opposed to Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is rarely a cause of purulent pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
