The type of pneumonia characterized by alveolar consolidation is typically referred to as "lobar pneumonia." This condition often results from bacterial infections, most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, leading to the filling of alveoli with fluid, inflammatory cells, and debris. This consolidation can be seen on imaging studies as areas of opacity in the affected lobes of the lungs. Symptoms generally include cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.

What type of disease is pneumonia?
Pneumonia is an abnormal inflammatory condition of the lung. It is often characterized as including inflammation of the parenchyma of the lung (that is, the alveoli) and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid (consolidation and exudation) The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic-that is, unknown-when infectious causes have been excluded. Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Additionally, it is the leading cause of death in children under five years old worldwide Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health. The mortality rate of the primary viral pneumonia form is about 70%
