Pneumonia
Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation.
Year introduced: 1963
Chlamydial Pneumonia
Pneumonia caused by infections with the genus CHLAMYDIA; and CHLAMYDOPHILA, usually with CHLAMYDOPHILA PNEUMONIAE.
Year introduced: 2012
Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated
Serious INFLAMMATION of the LUNG in patients who required the use of PULMONARY VENTILATOR. It is usually caused by bacterial CROSS INFECTION in hospitals.
Year introduced: 2007
Pneumonia of Calves, Enzootic
Chronic endemic respiratory disease of dairy calves and an important component of bovine respiratory disease complex. It primarily affects calves up to six months of age and the etiology is multifactorial. Stress plus a primary viral infection is followed by a secondary bacterial infection. The latter is most commonly associated with PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA producing a purulent BRONCHOPNEUMONIA. Sometimes present are MANNHEIMIA HAEMOLYTICA; HAEMOPHILUS SOMNUS and mycoplasma species.
Year introduced: 2005
Pneumonia of Swine, Mycoplasmal
A chronic, clinically mild, infectious pneumonia of PIGS caused by MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE. Ninety percent of swine herds worldwide are infected with this economically costly disease that primarily affects animals aged two to six months old. The disease can be associated with porcine respiratory disease complex. PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA is often found as a secondary infection.
Year introduced: 2004
Murine pneumonia virus
A species of the genus PNEUMOVIRUS causing pneumonia in mice.
Year introduced: 2002
Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia
An interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, occurring between 21-80 years of age. It is characterized by a dramatic onset of a pneumonia-like illness with cough, fever, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. Pathological features include prominent interstitial inflammation without collagen fibrosis, diffuse fibroblastic foci, and no microscopic honeycomb change. There is excessive proliferation of granulation tissue within small airways and alveolar ducts.
Year introduced: 2009 (1995)
Pneumonia, Bacterial
Inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is caused by bacterial infections.
Year introduced: 1995
Pneumonia, Viral
Inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is caused by a viral infection.
Pneumonia, Staphylococcal
Pneumonia caused by infections with bacteria of the genus STAPHYLOCOCCUS, usually with STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS.
Year introduced: 1968
Pneumonia, Rickettsial
Pneumonia caused by infection with bacteria of the family RICKETTSIACEAE.
Pneumonia, Progressive Interstitial, of Sheep
Chronic respiratory disease caused by the VISNA-MAEDI VIRUS. It was formerly believed to be identical with jaagsiekte (PULMONARY ADENOMATOSIS, OVINE) but is now recognized as a separate entity.
Year introduced: 1976
Pneumonia, Pneumocystis
A pulmonary disease in humans occurring in immunodeficient or malnourished patients or infants, characterized by DYSPNEA, tachypnea, and HYPOXEMIA. Pneumocystis pneumonia is a frequently seen opportunistic infection in AIDS. It is caused by the fungus PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECII. The disease is also found in other MAMMALS where it is caused by related species of Pneumocystis.
Year introduced: 2004 (1963)
Pneumonia, Mycoplasma
Interstitial pneumonia caused by extensive infection of the lungs (LUNG) and BRONCHI, particularly the lower lobes of the lungs, by MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE in humans. In SHEEP, it is caused by MYCOPLASMA OVIPNEUMONIAE. In CATTLE, it may be caused by MYCOPLASMA DISPAR.
Year introduced: 1980
Pneumonia, Pneumococcal
A febrile disease caused by STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE.
Year introduced: 1998
Pneumonia, Lipid
Pneumonia due to aspiration or inhalation of various oily or fatty substances or otherwise accumulation of endogenous lipid substances in the PULMONARY ALVEOLI.
Year introduced: 1991(1984)1963
Pneumonia, Atypical Interstitial, of Cattle
A cattle disease of uncertain cause, probably an allergic reaction.
Pneumonia, Aspiration
A type of lung inflammation resulting from the aspiration of food, liquid, or gastric contents into the upper RESPIRATORY TRACT.
Year introduced: 1967(1966)
Organizing Pneumonia
Any obstructive lung disease characterized by consolidated formation of GRANULATION TISSUE polyps within ALVEOLAR DUCTS AND ALVEOLI. It is classified as either primary (cryptogenic organizing pneumonia) or secondary organizing pneumonia. Secondary organizing pneumonia after transplantation is called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
Year introduced: 2023
Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia
Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation that is acquired through an interaction within a healthcare institution often through a therapeutic experience (e.g., use of catheters or ventilators).
Year introduced: 2019
