Aspiration pneumonia


[Classification]
Pneumonia has traditionally been classified from the perspective of pathogenesis, pathological morphology, and pathogens. In terms of pathogenesis, it is classified into acute specific pneumonia (primary pneumonia) caused by the invasion of specific pathogens from the outside world into the lungs, and aspiration pneumonia (secondary pneumonia) caused by the inhalation of secretions contaminated with upper respiratory tract bacterial flora due to a weakened defense system caused by severe systemic disease, senility, or after surgery. In addition, metastatic pneumonia caused by pathogens during the course of systematic infectious diseases such as typhoid fever, brucellosis, and plague can be mentioned. In terms of pathological morphology, it is classified into lobar pneumonia, in which inflammatory changes affect the entire lobe, and bronchopneumonia, in which inflammation occurs mainly in the bronchi and the surrounding alveolar tissue, depending on the spread and distribution of inflammatory changes in the lungs. …
