RML Pneumonia is "Right Middle Lobe" Pneumonia. The right lung has three lobes; the upper, middle, and lower. The left lung on the other hand only has two lobes; the upper and lower. RML Pneumonia refers to the location in the lung of the pneumonia, and not the virus or bacterial type itself.
A right-sided infiltrate on a chest X-ray typically appears as a shadow or opacity on the right side of the lung. This can be caused by conditions such as pneumonia, lung cancer, or pulmonary embolism. Further imaging and clinical evaluation are usually needed to determine the underlying cause.
Infiltrate is a verb.
A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis.

Peribronchial infiltrate refers to the accumulation of inflammatory cells and fluid around the bronchi, which are the large air passages that lead from the trachea to the lungs. This condition is often seen in various respiratory illnesses, including infections like pneumonia or chronic conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Imaging studies, like chest X-rays or CT scans, can reveal this infiltrate as a sign of underlying lung pathology. It indicates localized inflammation and can be a marker for respiratory distress or infection.
The soldiers were able to infiltrate enemy lines.
Left suprahilar infiltrate refers to an abnormal accumulation of fluid or cells in the area above the hilum of the left lung, which can be seen on imaging studies like chest X-rays or CT scans. This infiltrate may indicate various conditions, such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, or malignancy. The hilum is the region where blood vessels and bronchi enter and exit the lungs, and infiltrates in this area can affect lung function and may require further investigation to determine the underlying cause.
