Pulmonary eosinophilia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Pulmonary eosinophilia is a group of diseases and syndromes characterized by transient pulmonary infiltrates and eosinophilia of blood exceeding 1.5 x 109 / L.

Pneumosclerosis

Depending on the severity of the proliferation of connective tissue, fibrosis, sclerosis, and cirrhosis are distinguished. With pneumofibrosis scar changes in the lungs are expressed moderately.

Gangrene lung: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Gangrene of the lungs is a serious pathological condition, characterized by extensive necrosis and ichorous decomposition of the affected lung tissue, not prone to clear delimitation and rapid purulent fusion.

Abscess of the lung

Abscess of the lung - inflammation of the tissue of the lungs of a non-specific nature, which is accompanied by melting it with the formation of a nano-necrotic cavity.

Infectious destruction of the lungs: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Infectious lung destruction - severe pathological conditions characterized by inflammatory infiltration and subsequent purulent or putrefactive decay (destruction) of lung tissue as a result of exposure to nonspecific infectious agents (NV Pukhov, 1998). There are three forms of infectious destruction of the lungs: abscess, gangrene and gangrenous abscess of the lung.

Chronic pneumonia

Chronic pneumonia is a chronic inflammatory localized process in the lung tissue, the morphological substrate of which is pneumosclerosis and / or carnification of the lung tissue, as well as irreversible changes in the bronchial tree of the type of local chronic bronchitis, clinically manifested by recurrence of inflammation in the same affected part of the lung.

Pneumonia in the background of immunodeficient conditions: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Pneumonia on the background of immunodeficiency states are caused by a variety of pathogens. This article describes pneumocystic and cytomegalovirus pneumonia.
