Abstract

Pulmonary infection can also be classified into several radiologic and pathologic patterns according to its morphologic features. The three most common patterns are lobar pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia. Less common forms of infection include cellular bronchiolitis, septic embolism, miliary infection, and lung abscess. Because less common forms of infectious condition have been dealt in previous other chapters, the three most common patterns only are described in this chapter.
