Non-infectious inflammatory processes in the lung tissue, usually called pneumonitis or (in case of primary lesion of respiratory sections of the lungs) by alveolitis. Against a background of similar aseptic inflammatory processes, bacterial, viral-bacterial or fungal pneumonia often develops.

The main diagnostic method is X-ray examination of the lungs, the main method of treatment is antibacterial therapy. Later diagnosis and delay with the onset of antibiotic therapy (more than 8 hours) worsen the prognosis of the disease.

Classification
Pneumonia can be

focal - that is, occupy a small hearth of the lungs,
segmental - spread to one or more segments of the lung,
share - to capture the share of the lung. A classic example of lobar pneumonia is croupous pneumonia.
total pneumonia is called, if it spreads to all the lungs.
In addition, pneumonia can be one-sided, if only one lung is affected, and two-sided if both lungs are affected.

Pneumonia can be primary if it acts as an independent disease, and secondary if she developed against another disease, for example, secondary pneumonia in the background of chronic bronchitis.

How to understand that loss of inflammation of the lungs without going to the doctor?

Answers:

Anton Chernyatin

Without a hike can not do. Advisers from Wikipedia described only the general symptoms, but in fact it is necessary to produce R-graphics, and see which departments affected the inflammation. The attending physician will select the course of antibiotic therapy and prescribe the treatment.
It is better not to delay this, because with delayed treatment, the process can worsen, so it's more likely that you need to see a doctor.

Masha

most in any way, if only a common blood test done, and listen to yourself))

Vyacheslav Smolin

The most important things are cough and high fever. The patient suffers from a dry persistent cough, which can occur not only during the day. Especially he worries a person in the morning and at night, preventing sleep.
Temperature, as one of the most obvious signs of pneumonia, is either not very high, 37 ° C, or rises to 39.5 ° C. A man complains of a chill, sweats a lot.
It can be either quickened or difficult. In very young children with pneumonia, the frequency of respiratory movements is sometimes up to 60 or more times. Those kids who are from one year to five, the frequency of such movements can exceed 40 times.

When you try to take a deep breath, there is pain in your chest. At the same time, painful sensations arise precisely in the place where the main focus of inflammation is concentrated.

Other signs of pneumonia:
constant swelling of the wings of the nose
pain in the abdomen
bluish tint of the area around the mouth
severe headaches
physical weakness
lack of appetite
sputum, which is difficult to leave

In general, rather to the doctor it is necessary!

What syndromes of pneumonia ???

Answers:

Just LANA

Pneumonia is more known to us under the name "pneumonia", it is an acute infectious disease, which is accompanied by disturbances in the respiratory system. After infection, with the development of pathogenic microflora in the lungs inflammation begins, it is accompanied by an increase in body temperature. In contrast to the usual respiratory diseases, in which the fever falls on the second - the third day, when The pneumonia temperature lasts more than three days, at a level of about 37 degrees (the so-called "pulmonary" temperature). An accurate diagnosis allows you to make an X-ray, but there are also external signs of the disease:
- pallor and cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle;
- swelling of the wings of the nose with rapid breathing (with the involvement of the musculature of the chest);
Very fast fatigue; - unreasonable sweating;
- the child's refusal to eat. A characteristic "pneumonious" cough does not exist, it can be mild, superficial, may be absent altogether, and may be severe, paroxysmal like in whooping cough. Sputum for pneumonia is not typical, it appears if the inflammation affected not only the lungs but also the bronchi. It happens that it is not immediately possible to recognize pneumonia.
