Bronchopneumonia is a subtype of pneumonia . It is the acute inflammation of the bronchi , accompanied by inflamed patches in the nearby lobules of the lungs.[1]
It is often contrasted with lobar pneumonia ; but, in clinical practice, the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap.[2] Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. The same organism may cause one type of pneumonia in one patient, and another in a different patient.
X-ray of bronchopneumonia: multifocal lung consolidation bilaterally.[3]
Bronchopneumonia is usually a bacterial pneumonia rather than being caused by viral disease .[medical citation needed ]
It is more commonly a hospital-acquired pneumonia than a community-acquired pneumonia , in contrast to lobar pneumonia .[4]
Bronchopneumonia is less likely than lobar pneumonia to be associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae .[5] Rather, the bronchopneumonia pattern has been associated mainly with the following: Staphylococcus aureus , Klebsiella , E. coli and Pseudomonas .[6]
Pathology [ edit ]
Histopathology of bronchopneumonia, showing neutrophils filling a bronchiole .
Bronchopneumonia may sometimes be diagnosed after death, during autopsy .
On gross pathology there are typically multiple foci of consolidation present in the basal lobes of the human lung , often bilateral. These lesions are 2–4 cm in diameter, grey-yellow, dry, often centered on a bronchiole , poorly delimited, and with the tendency to confluence, especially in children.
Light microscopy typically shows neutrophils in bronchi, bronchioles and adjacent alveolar spaces.[2]
Treatment [ edit ]
Compared to pneumonia in general, the association between the bronchopneumonia pattern and hospital-acquired pneumonia warrants greater consideration of multiple drug resistance in the choice of antibiotics.
