| bronchopulmonary aspergillosis | An inflammatory and destructive disease of the bronchi and lungs due to the presence and growth of Aspergillus fumigatus. There are four varieties: 1) a bronchial infection with allergic manifestations, in which the fungus grows in the mucus (evoked by the inflammation), which may be expectorated as yellow bronchial casts and may cause intermittent bronchial obstruction, with transient pulmonary shadows seen radiographically; asthma is often present, and bronchial wall destruction may eventually result in a proximal form of bronchiectasis; 2) aspergilloma; 3) an infection with pulmonary necrosis as a pneumonic involvement of the lung in debilitated subjects; 4) disseminated aspergillosis. Synonym: bronchopneumonic aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergillosis. Disseminated aspergillosis, a variety of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, characterised by a generalised infection of the lung with Aspergillus occurring usually in subjects with defective immune response. Invasive aspergillosis, so-called because of the peculiar predilection of Aspergillus fumigatus to invade blood vessels and cause tissue infarction; it is second only to candidiasis as a cause of opportunistic fungal infection in patients whose immune mechanisms have been suppressed by chemotherapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary dysplasia | <embryology, paediatrics> A form of chronic lung disease of uncertain cause sometimes seen in children who have received mechanical respiratory support (with high oxygenation) in the neonatal period. Often associated with those infants who have been treated for hyaline membrane disease. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| bronchopulmonary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes in the hilum of the lung that receive lymph from the pulmonary node's, and drain to the tracheobronchial nodes. Synonym: glandulae bronchiales, bronchial glands, hilar lymph nodes, nodi lymphatici bronchopulmonales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary segment | The largest subdivision of a lobe of the lung; it is supplied by a direct tertiary (lobular) bronchus and a tertiary branch of the pulmonary artery; it is separated from adjacent segments by connective tissue septa. Synonym: segmentum bronchopulmonale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchopulmonary segments | A subdivision of one lobe of a lung based on the connection to the segmental bronchus. For example, the right upper lobe has apical, anterior, and posterior segments. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchopulmonary sequestration | A developmental anomaly in which a mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue lacks normal connection with the tracheobroncheal tree and receives an anomalous blood supply originating from the descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The mass may be extralobar, i.e., completely separated from normally connected lung, or intralobar, i.e., partly surrounded by normal lung. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchopulmonary spirochetosis | Chronic bronchitis due to infection with spirochetes (though other bacteria are usually present and contribute to the infection) and characterised by cough and bloody sputum. Synonym: bronchopulmonary spirochetosis, bronchospirochetosis, Castellani's bronchitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis | <radiology> ABPA: Aspergillus fumigatus hypersensitivity, mucoid impaction of bronchi distal to lobar bronchus, mucus plugs contain fungi, eosinophils, XR: Y-shaped density (mucus plug wedged in bronchi) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| aspergillosis, allergic bronchopulmonary | Aspergillosis of the lung occurring in an individual with long-standing bronchial asthma. It is characterised by pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia, elevated serum IgE and immediate type skin reactivity to aspergillus antigen. (12 Dec 1998) |

| bronchopulmonary candidiasis |
candidiasis of the respiratory tract, either from colonization of the tracheobronchial tree in immunocompromised patients or those on antibiotics, or associated with pneumonia in the immunocompromised. It ranges from mild to severe and life-threatening. Called also bronchocandidiasis.
