Which illness is a type of liquefactive necrosis? ✅Abscess
Diphtheria
Abscess
Croup An abscess is a circumscribed area of suppuration and destruction of lung
Epiglottitis parenchyma and is a type of liquefactive necrosis. Abscess formation follows
consolidation of lung tissue, in which inflammation causes alveoli to fill with fluid, pus,
and microorganisms. Diphtheria causes sore throat and dysphagia. Bilateral swelling
of the tonsils is usually involved, with a tenacious membrane covering the mucosa.
Diphtheria is not common because of immunization. Croup is caused by a virus and
generally produces a barking cough. Generally, bacteria causes epiglottitis with
accompanying high fever, drooling, and inspiratory stridor. Epiglottitis is also
declining because of immunization.
