==Pneumonia  - Introduction and Classification==

*Pneumonia
 
**Inflammation that takes place in the '''alveoli and their walls'''
 
**Can be grouped either according to
 
***Nature of the inflammatory process
 
***Aetiological agent
 
***Pattern of the lesion
 
 
 
*Patterns of lung inflammation vary depending on the aetiology, route and method of exposure and multiple host factors including age, general health, and immune status
 
**There are five general patterns of pneumonia:
 
***[[Bronchopneumonia]]
 
***[[Bronchointerstitial Pneumonia]]
 
***[[Lobar Pneumonia]]
 
***[[Interstitial Pneumonia]]
 
***[[Embolic Pneumonia]]

==Stages of pneumonia==

[[Image:Acute exudative pneumonia - gross.jpg|right|thumb|150px|<small><center>Acute exudative pneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
*Regardless of the pattern, all pneumonias pass through three stages:
 
**'''Exudative phase'''
 
***In this initial stage inflammatory exudate pours into alveolar spaces and alveolar capillaries are congested
 
***Type I alveolar epithelial cells are highly sensitive to injury and cannot proliferate in response to injury
 
***Necrosis and sloughing of injured type I cells, denuding alveolar spaces of lining epithelium
 
***[[Neutrophils|Neutrophils]] begin to enter alveolar spaces distended with inflammatory oedema
 
**'''Proliferative phase'''
 
***Type II alveolar cells (less sensitive to and can proliferate in response to injury) begin to proliferate within 24 hours and eventually line the alveolar walls denuded of type I cells ***By 6 days cuboidal type II cells can completely line the alveoli
 
***Proliferation of type II cells marks the shift from the exudative to the proliferative stage of pneumonia, also heralded by decreased blood flow in alveolar capillaries
 
***Because the original squamous type I cells have been replaced by cuboidal type II cells, the microscopic appearance of pneumonic lungs at about 1 week has been described as “alveolar epithelialization”, “alveolar adenomatosis”, or “bronchiolisation of alveoli”
 
**'''Repair phase'''
 
***Resolution of pneumonia is accomplished by transformation of type II cells to type I cells

===Aspiration pneumonia===
 
[[Image:Acute necrotising pneumonia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|<small><center>Acute necrotising pneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
[[Image:Inhalation pneumonia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|<small><center>Aspiration pneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
*Response of the lungs to aspirated foreign material will depend on the nature of the material (e.g. food), the bacterial load and the distribution of the material within the lungs
 
*Mild bronchopneumonia can develop into a severe necrotising pneumonia and in very severe cases can progress to gangrenous pneumonia (below)
 
*In Cattle
 
**Associated with poor husbandry
 
**Regurgitated ruminal content
 
**Cranio-ventral distribution
 
**Respiratory insufficiency secondary to [[:Category:Cardiovascular System - Developmental Pathology|congenital cardiac disease]]
 
*In Horses
 
**Most commonly in right ventral lung lobe (most rostral secondary bronchus leads to right accessory lobe)
 
**Risk factors:
 
***[[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|Oesophageal]] obstruction
 
***Spontaneous reflux (GI obstruction, equine grass sickness)
 
***[[Respiratory System Clinical Signs - Pathology#Dysphagia|Dysphagia]]
 
***Iatrogenic
 
****Nasogastric tube in the wrong place
 
*In Dogs
 
**Most commonly [[Control of Feeding - Anatomy & Physiology#The Vomit Reflex|vomited]]/regurgitated material or contrast medium introduced into airways
 
**In severe acute cases may die from septic shock
 
**In chronic cases -> [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchopneumonia|bronchopneumonia]]
 
**Common sequel to [[Myasthenia Gravis|myasthenia gravis]], [[Megaoesophagus|megaoesophagus]] or [[Persistent Right Aortic Arch|persistent right aortic arch]]

===Gangrenous pneumonia===
 
[[Image:Gangrenous pneumonia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|<small><center>Gangrenous pneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
*Can occur following severe infections in which tissue becomes necrotic and is then invaded by putrefactive saprophytes, however this is rare.
 
*The usual cause is administration of medicines (intended for the oesophagus!) or as a sequel to aspiration pneumonia
 
*The dead tissue undergoes liquefactive necrosis forming a cavity which is surrounded by intense hyperaemia and inflammation

===Lipid pneumonia===
 
[[Image:Lipid pneumonia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|<small><center>Lipid pneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
*Associated with inhalation of oil, paraffin, etc.
 
*Reaction dominated by macrophages which fill the alveoli and interstitial thickening (mononuclear cells and fibrosis)
 
*Tends to acumulate in ventral regions bilterally
 
*Occurs subclinically in cats, sometimes dogs, unrelated to aspiration
 
*Gross lesion:
 
**Multifocal, firm, white nodules
 
*Microscopic lesions:
 
**Macrophages full of lipid forming foam within alveoli
 
**Interstitial lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration, fibrosis
 
 
 
 
 
[[Category:Pneumonia]]
 
 
 
 
 
===Uraemic pneumonia===
 
*Severe uraemia causes increased permeability of the blood-air barrier and therefore can cause [[Pulmonary Oedema|pulmonary oedema]]
 
*In addition to the oedema, there may also be degeneration and calcification of smooth muscle and connective tissue fibres
 
*Lungs do not collapse on opening the thorax in severe cases
 
 
 
 
 
[[Category:Pneumonia]]
 
 
 
 
 
===Foetal pneumonia===
 
*Especially foals and farm species
 
*Due to aspiration of amniotic fluid contaminated with meconium and bacteria
 
**Secondary to fetal distress
 
**Microscopic lesions of [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchopneumonia|bronchopneumonia]]
 
**Involves all lobes (versus postnatal bronchopneumonia)
 
*Haematogenous spread
 
**Causes [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Interstitial pneumonia|interstitial pneumonia]]
 
**Often caused by ''Listeria monocytogenes'', ''Salmonella'' spp. or ''Chlamydia psittaci''
 
*In viral abortions
 
**Cause [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchointerstitial pneumonia|bronchointerstitial pneumonia]]
 
**E.g.: [[Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis|IBR]], [[Bovine Parainfluenza - 3|PI-3]] and [[Equine Rhinopneumonitis|equine viral rhinopneumonitis]]
