Pneumonitis refers to inflammation of the lung tissue, which can result from various causes such as infections, chemical irritants, or autoimmune diseases. Koch's infection, commonly known as tuberculosis (TB), is a specific infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but potentially impacting other organs. While pneumonitis can be due to non-infectious or infectious factors, Koch's infection is a distinct infectious process that can lead to pneumonitis as a complication.
