| pandora | 1. A beautiful woman (all-gifted), whom Jupiter caused Vulcan to make out of clay in order to punish the human race, because Prometheus had stolen the fire from heaven. Jupiter gave Pandora a box containing all human ills, which, when the box was opened, escaped and spread over the earth. Hope alone remained in the box. Another version makes the box contain all the blessings of the gods, which were lost to men when Pandora opened it. 2. <zoology> A genus of marine bivalves, in which one valve is flat, the other convex. Origin: L, fr. Gr. Pandwra; pa^s, pa^n, all + dw^ron a gift. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| acute chemical pneumonitis | <chest medicine> Inflammation of the lungs which occurs secondary to exposure to a chemical, organic dust, fungus or mould. Chronic exposure can lead to chronic lung changes evident on chest X-ray. Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath and wheezing. See: bird-handler's disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute interstitial pneumonitis | Usually considered a form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation pneumonitis | Injurious effects of radiotherapy on the lungs. There are three phases in the reaction of the lungs to radiation injury: an acute phase occurring 1 to 2 months after exposure, a subacute phase 2 to 9 months after exposure, and a chronic or fibrotic phase more than 9 months after exposure. In the acute phase there is vascular damage, congestion, oedema, and mononuclear cell infiltration; in the subacute phase the alveolar walls are infiltrated with mononuclear inflammatory cells and fibroblasts; in the chronic phase, alveolar fibrosis and capillary sclerosis take place. (cecil textbook of medicine, 19th ed, p2343) (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumonitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the lung secondary to viral or bacterial infection. Common symptoms include a productive cough, fever, chills and shortness of breath. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hypersensitivity pneumonitis | <radiology> Aka: chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis, pathology: proliferation of epithelial cells, elaboration of reticulum fibres, findings: interstitial reticulonodular pattern (basilar distribution), volume loss (cicatrization atelectasis) in upper lobes, pleural effusion (rare), lymph node enlargement may occur (12 Dec 1998) |
| interstitial pneumonitis | <chest medicine, pathology> A form if 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) |
| feline pneumonitis | An infectious respiratory illness of domesticated cats caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic pneumonitis | Perihilar oedema of the lung associated with renal failure and hypertension; the peripheral parts of the lung remain clear. Synonym: uraemic pneumonia, uraemic pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis | 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 pneumonitis | <pathology> A form of pneumonia which is characterised by diffuse interstitial infiltrates and infiltration of lymphocytes into the lung tissue. (27 Sep 1997) |
