The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".
The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".
Pneumonia involves the swelling or inflammation lung tissue and it is infectious whereas pneumonitis is not infectious.
There is really no difference between the symptoms of viral and bacterial meningitis. With both you will have fever, headache, stiff neck, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. However that being said bacterial comes on suddenly where viral can take a few days.
Pneumonia is one type of lung infection, but not all infections are pneumonia. It depends on which sort of bacteria are causing the infection and where in the lungs the infection is.
Bronchitis often has a colored flam while allergies are clear.
You have 3 lobes on the right side and 2 lobes on the left (with a little bitty middle lobe in between on the left). When you have left lower lobe pneumonia it is at the base of your left lung. When you have bilateral pneumonia it is on both sides of the chest (right and left lungs), but it could be in any lobes(most commonly at the bases).
Atelectasis is the collapsing of a lungwhen there is an interference with the natural forces that promote lung expansion. Pneumonia is an inflammatory process and infection, usually involving fluid in the lungs.Atelectasis is basically a collapsed lung.
Between 10,000 and 15,000 GAS infections occur in the United States every year.
Lobar pneumonia affects a large area of the one of the lobes of the lung. Bronchopneumonia is a form of pneumonia that also includes the inflammation of the bronchi.
