The term "lung melanoma" can refer to two very different conditions. The first is an extremely rare primary malignant melanoma, presumably originating directly in the bronchopulmonary system. The second, and much more common, is metastatic melanoma to the lungs, initially arising in the skin, mucous membrane, eye, or from an unknown primary site.
Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare extragenital form of endometriosis. In modern literature, it is usually considered part of thoracic endometriosis syndrome, in which endometrial-like lesions can be found in the lung tissue, pleura, diaphragm, or bronchi.
Respiratory chlamydia is not a single, strictly defined disease or a separate, official diagnosis. This term can refer to respiratory infections caused by several species of bacteria in the genus Chlamydia.
Pleurisy, or pleuritic inflammation, is an inflammation of the pleura: the thin membrane that covers the lungs and lines the inside of the chest. The main symptom of pleurisy is a sharp, stabbing, or cutting pain in the chest, which intensifies with deep breathing, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or movement.
Post-stroke pneumonia is an infectious or aspiration-infectious inflammation of the lungs that develops against the background of acute cerebrovascular accident.
Asthma associated with pneumonia is a condition in which a person with bronchial asthma develops an infectious inflammation of the lung tissue. In asthma, the main problem usually lies in the bronchi: they become inflamed, narrow, react to irritants, and may produce more mucus.
Acute respiratory viral infection most often manifests itself as a runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, sneezing, sore throat, headache, body aches and fever.
Drug-induced cough is a cough that is triggered, aggravated, or maintained by medication. It may be the only symptom or may be accompanied by shortness of breath, wheezing, runny nose, hoarseness, sore throat, fever, or chest X-ray abnormalities.
A cough associated with chronic bronchitis is usually a prolonged productive cough, that is, a cough with sputum, which is associated with chronic inflammation of the bronchi and increased mucus production.
