excessive air in the alveoli, causing abnormal and permanent enlargement of alveoli with destruction of alveolar walls.

Emphysematous areas are raised, pale or white, dry and can be easily compressed with finger. It usually alternates areas of atelectasis

It develops under the pressure of inhaled air.
II. Incompletely closed bronchioles ie. if it was completely closed then it would hav been etelectasis and note that its the opposite of etelectasis where there is no air in the alveoli due to obstruction

78
Q

Bronchopneumonia can be

A
  • Suppurative or lobular
  • Fibrinous or lobar.
79
Q

Bronchopneumonia is irregular consolidation of cranioventral region of lung. There are several exceptions to this location of lesions

A
  1. Viral infection by Bovine respiratory syncytial virus typically induce a cranioventral pattern of brochointerstitial pneumonia, mistaken easily for bronchopneumonia.
  2. Lesions of bronchopneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia and Actinobacillus suis affects usually middle and caudal lobes.
  3. In dogs and cats, in addition to lesions in cranioventral region, a patchy distribution throughout the lung is not uncommon.
80
Q

Cranio-ventral involvement, suppurative or mucopurulent exudate, lobular in pattern, mosaic appearance with red and gray color

A

bronchopneumonia

81
Q

Fibrinous bronchopneumonia

A

Predominant exudate is more fibrinous than neutrophilic. Starts as lobular but involves the part or complete lobe, hence the name. It is as a result of more severe injury, because of strong pathogens. Infection is mainly through respiratory route but in some cases may be hematoge

82
Q

Marble pattern in lungs

A

fibrinopneumonia

83
Q

complicatins of pleuropneumonia

A
  • It rarely resolves unlike suppurative broncho- Pneumonia.
  • Death is more frequent due to pleuritis and pericarditis. Fibrinous adhesions of pleura and pericardium is common sequel.

The term bronchointerstitial pneumonia describes cases in which pulmonary lesions share features of bronchopneumonia and interstitial pneumonia.
It is frequently seen in many viral infections in which virus causes injury to bronchial and alveolar cells.
It is seen in uncomplicated cases of respiratory syncytial virus infection in bovine and lambs, Canine distemper and influenza in pigs and horses

96
Q

2 causes of abscesses in the lung

A
  1. Bronchopneumonia: abscesses are large, isolated, confined to anterioventral part of the lung and are seen extending from the bronchial tree.
  2. Metastatic from septic emboli arrested in pulmonary vessels: abscesses are small, multiple and widely distributed in whole lung, seen spreading from blood vessels. A careful search should be made to locate the source of emboli

A

Caused by variety of etiological agents; start with viral infections later bacterial contaminants like Pasteurella, H. somnus, Actinomyces pyogenus and mycoplasma produce suppurative bronchopneumonia.
