| 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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
