Radiographic Pathology Chapter 3 Questions
and Answers 100% Solved
legionnaires disease ✔️✔️-name given to a severe bacterial pneumonia that becomes know
after it caused the death of four people attending convention in Philadelphia in 1976
-outbreak of this disease occur in large buildings such as hotels and hospitals, most frequently
in the late summer or early fall
mycoplasma pneumonia ✔️✔️-caused by mycoplasmas, the smallest group of living organism.
They have characteristics of both bacteria and viruses.
mycoplasma pneumonia ✔️✔️type of pneumonia that most common in older children and
young adults
aspiration (chemical)pneumonia ✔️✔️caused by acid vomitus aspirated into the lower
respiratory tract.
viral (interstitial) pneumonia ✔️✔️cause by viruses, most commonly influenza virus A and B
more common that bacterial pneumonia but less severe
bronchiestasis ✔️✔️permanent, abnormal dilatation of one or more large bronchi as a result
of destruction of the elastic and muscular components of the bronchial wall
pulmonary tuberculosis ✔️✔️infection caused by inhalation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
miliary tuberculosis ✔️✔️refers to is characteristic resemblance to millet seeds
, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ✔️✔️group of disorders that cause chronic air
way obstruction
chronic bronchitis and emphysema ✔️✔️most common forms of COPD
COPD ✔️✔️irreversible disease that result in limiting airflow
cigarette smoking ✔️✔️predominant risk factor associated with COPD
chronic obstructive bronchitis ✔️✔️chronic inflammation of the bronchi
persistent cough and expectoration( expulsion of mucus or phlegm from the throat)
✔️✔️primary symptoms of chronic bronchitis
emphysema ✔️✔️condition in which the lung's alveoli become distended, usually from loss of
elasticity or interference with expiration. It is characterized by increased air spaces distal to the
terminal bronchioles, with destruction of the alveolar walls
asthma ✔️✔️chronic inflammation of the bronchial system resulting in airway obstruction and
bronchial hyperresponsiveness
pneumoconioses ✔️✔️pulmonary fibrosis from inhalation of foreign inorganic dust, most
commonly from particular work environment
selicosis ✔️✔️type of pneumoconioses from inhaling silica (quartz)
anthracosis (black lung disease) ✔️✔️result from inhalation of coal dust
