Definition of the disease

The development of the inflammatory process in the lung tissue termed pneumonia. However, to say that there is inflammation, and its center is located in the lung tissue is only half the diagnosis. To determine methods of treatment should answer a lot of questions:

• For some reason there was a inflammation.
• What is the amount of area covered by respiratory organ pathological process.
• Whether inflammation is a primary or secondary disease.
• Is there pneumonia complications.
• What is the General condition of the body of a diseased person (age, individual characteristics, concomitant diseases).

Because of the varieties of this disease are many. And there of pneumonia in different situations.

Distinguish between infectious and noninfectious pneumonia. If the pathological process caused by pathogenic microflora, it is necessary to know exactly which: bacterial, viral or fungal infection. There are also mixed forms of viral-bacterial. Sometimes the cause of the disease is atypical microorganisms. This type of pneumonia is difficult to diagnose and to treat.

In some cases, the cause of inflammation be allergic reactions, exposure to toxic substances, trauma to the chest. It is non-infectious pneumonia. But this disease is often a cause of a lung fungal or bacterial infection.

It should be noted that a bacterial infection most often causes pneumonia.

Depending on the size of the lesion there are focal, segmental, discharge and total pneumonia. Of course, the magnitude of the spread of inflammation and caused them "harm" depends on the severity of the disease.

Inflammation leads to damage puzinkevich formations in the lung tissue (alveoli). In the alveoli, develops an inflammatory exudation – the appearance of the "bubbles" of exudative fluid. Air from alveoli forced out. Pneumonia is extremely dangerous, causing serious condition and complications: atelectasis (spadenie lobes of the lung), pleural effusion, abscess or gangrene of the lung, respiratory and oxygen deficiency, heart failure. At untimely or incorrect treatment of pneumonia can result in death of the patient.

For more effective treatment of bacterial analysis is carried out to accurately determine the infectious agent and to appoint a drug to which sensitive organisms. In addition to antibiotics your doctor may prescribe a number of medications that help the body cope with the effects of the inflammatory process or facilitate the patient's condition in the case of extremely severe symptoms.
