| 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) |
| fibrous pneumonia | A process affecting pulmonary tissue and leading to deposition of collagen, either interstitially or in alveolar sacs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| usual interstitial pneumonia of Liebow | A progressive inflammatory condition starting with diffuse alveolar damage and resulting in fibrosis and honeycombing over a variable time period; also a common feature of collagen-vascular diseases. Synonym: fibrosing alveolitis, Hamman-Rich syndrome, idiopathic interstitial fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Friedlander's bacillus pneumonia | Pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae, the Friedlander bacillus. (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) |
| lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia | A rare disease characterised by interstitial accumulation of lymphocytes in the lungs and late fibrosis; usually a result of a lymphoma, occasionally seen in AIDS, especially. In children. Sometimes seen as an autoimmune disorder. Synonym: lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoid interstitial pneumonia | A rare disease characterised by interstitial accumulation of lymphocytes in the lungs and late fibrosis; usually a result of a lymphoma, occasionally seen in AIDS, especially. In children. Sometimes seen as an autoimmune disorder. Synonym: lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abelson leukaemia virus | A defective murine leukaemia virus capable of transforming lymphoid cells and producing a rapidly progressing lymphoid leukaemia after superinfection with friend, moloney, or rauscher virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adeno-associated virus | <virology> A genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae which are all defective viruses (unable to replicate by themselves) and depend on the co-infection of their host cell by other, nondefective viruses to help them replicate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adenoidal-pharyngeal-conjunctival virus | <virology> An icosahedral (20-sided) virus that contains DNA, there are over 40 different adenovirus varieties, some of which cause the common cold. (10 May 1997) |
| adenosatellite virus | <virology> A genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae which are all defective viruses (unable to replicate by themselves) and depend on the co-infection of their host cell by other, nondefective viruses to help them replicate. (09 Oct 1997) |
