Acute pneumonia. H&E stain. (WC)

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung, which includes infectious and non-infectious etiologies.

It is a subset of the medical lung diseases. This article primarily deals with the infectious pneumonias.

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are listed at the bottom; they are dealt with in detail in the diffuse lung diseases article.

Infectious pnemonia

Anatomical classification of pneumonia

  • Generally, not used by clinicians.
  • Use of the terms without qualification is discouraged... as they do not make explicit the etiology.

Bronchopneumonia

  • Multiple foci of (acute) inflammation involving the bronchi.
  • This is the most common form of (infectious) pneumonia.

Lobar pneumonia

  • Pneumonia that involves a whole lobe.
  • Rarely seen in areas where antibiotic treatments are widely available.

Acute infectious pneumonia

Main article: Acute infectious pneumonia

The most common form of pneumonia. It is usually diagnosed clinically.

Chronic infectious pneumonia

General

Common microorganisms:[1]

Note:

  • All of the later ones are granulomatous.

Microscopic

Features:

Aspiration pneumonia

Main article: Aspiration pneumonia

Cytomegalovirus pneumonia

Main article: Cytomegalovirus

General

  • Immunodeficiency.
  • Critical illness.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • CMV nuclear changes:
    • Large red nucleus with a pale halo.
  • Eosinophilic granular cytoplasmic inclusions.

Images:

IHC

  • CMV +ve -- cytoplasmic inclusions, large nucleus.

Diffuse lung diseases
