Respiratory Pathology for Medical II Students

Lab 2.a Bronchopneumonia (glass slide 28200-43000)

Slides A & B

Slide A At high power, note that the alveolar septa are congested. In typical cases of bacterial broncho- or lobar pneumonia, the inflammatory exudate is principally confined to the air spaces. Thus, if the pneumonia completely resolves, the pulmonary interstitium may return to normal.
Slide B In your slides you may find occasional clumps of bacteria within the alveolar exudate.

*Questions:

1.What does the term "consolidation" refer to? 
2.What physical findings correspond to consolidated pneumonia?
