viral pneumonia

pneumonia /pneu·mo·nia/ (noo-mo´ne-ah) inflammation of the lungs with exudation and consolidation.

---

pneumonia al´ba  a fatal desquamative pneumonia of the newborn due to congenital syphilis, with fatty degeneration of the lungs.

aspiration pneumonia  that due to aspiration of foreign material into the lungs.

atypical pneumonia  primary atypical p.

bacterial pneumonia  that due to bacteria, usually species of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, and Mycoplasma.

bronchial pneumonia  bronchopneumonia.

interstitial pneumonia, desquamative  chronic pneumonia with desquamation of large alveolar cells and thickening of the walls of distal air passages; marked by dyspnea and nonproductive cough.

double pneumonia  that affecting both lungs.

Friedländer's pneumonia , Friedländer's bacillus pneumonia Klebsiella p.

hypostatic pneumonia  a type seen in the weak or elderly, due to excessive lying on the back.

influenzal pneumonia , influenza virus pneumonia an acute, usually fatal type due to influenza virus, with high fever, prostration, sore throat, aching pains, dyspnea, massive edema, and consolidation. It may be complicated by bacterial pneumonia.

inhalation pneumonia 

1. aspiration p.

2. bronchopneumonia due to inhalation of irritating vapors.

interstitial pneumonia 

1. any of various types of pneumonia characterized by thickening of the interstitial tissue.

2. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

interstitial plasma cell pneumonia  pneumonia; a form caused by Pneumocystis carinii, seen in infants and debilitated or immunocompromised persons; cellular detritus containing plasma cells appears in lung tissue.

Klebsiella pneumonia  Friedländer's pneumonia; a form with massive mucoid inflammatory exudates in a lobe of the lung, due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.

lipid pneumonia , lipoid pneumonia aspiration pneumonia due to aspiration of oil.

lobar pneumonia 

1. acute bacterial pneumonia with edema, usually in one lung; the most common type is pneumococcal p.

2. pneumococcal p.

lobular pneumonia  bronchopneumonia.

mycoplasmal pneumonia  primary atypical pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Pittsburgh pneumonia  a type resembling legionnaires' disease, caused by Legionella micdadei, seen in immunocompromised patients.

pneumococcal pneumonia  the most common type of lobar pneumonia, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

pneumocystis pneumonia , Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia interstitial plasma cell p.

primary atypical pneumonia  any of numerous types of acute pneumonia, caused by bacteria such as species of Mycoplasma, Rickettsia, or Chlamydia, or viruses such as adenoviruses or parainfluenza virus.

rheumatic pneumonia  a rare, usually fatal complication of acute rheumatic fever, with extensive pulmonary consolidation and rapidly progressive functional deterioration, alveolar exudate, interstitial infiltrates, and necrotizing arteritis.

varicella pneumonia  that developing after the skin eruption in varicella (chickenpox), apparently due to the same virus; symptoms may be severe, with violent cough, hemoptysis, and severe chest pain.

viral pneumonia  that due to a virus, e.g., adenovirus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, or varicella virus.

white pneumonia  p. alba.

viral pneumonia,

pulmonary infection caused by a virus.

viral

pertaining to or caused by a virus.

viral abortion

see equine viral abortion (below). See also equine viral rhinopneumonitis, equine viral arteritis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis.

viral arteritis

see equine viral arteritis.

viral arthritis

a contagious disease of chickens and turkeys caused by a reovirus and characterized by a high incidence of inapparent infection and some cases of joint swelling and lameness.

viral assembly

final steps in the replication of viruses in which virions are assembled from their separately synthesized components. The final steps of viral maturation prior to release from the cell.

viral cultivation

viruses grow only in living cells which in the laboratory are provided by embryonated hen eggs, cell culture, or laboratory animals (rabbits, mice, etc.).

viral diarrhea

occurs in most species, especially in the newborn. In cattle, rotavirus and coronavirus are the common agents but bovine herpesvirus 1 and others may also be the cause in this age group. In older cattle bovine virus diarrhea (mucosal disease) is the major cause. Some other diseases may have diarrhea as an incidental sign, e.g. rinderpest, bovine malignant catarrhal fever.

equine viral abortion

caused by equine herpesvirus 1, sometimes equine herpesvirus 4. Abortion occurs in the last trimester and often involves a majority of mares in a group (abortion storm). See also equine viral rhinopneumonitis, equine viral arteritis.

viral hemorrhagic septicemia

important rhabdoviral infection of rainbow trout. Also causes infection, and sometimes disease, in other salmonids, pike, turbot, Pacific cod and Pacific herring. Acute infection is characterized by hemorrhages and a high mortality. Chronic infection may be inapparent.

viral hepatitis

see duck hepatitis.

viral interstitial pneumonia

bovine syncytial virus, a common cause of interstitial pneumonia in all age cattle, especially calves.

viral ligand

a receptor binding molecule on the surface of a virus. See also ligand.

viral papular dermatitis

see equine papular dermatitis.

viral pneumonia

see enzootic pneumonia.

viral pneumonia calf

caused by parainfluenza-3 virus, bovine respiratory syncytial virus; infection with Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Pasteurella spp. may also accompany the viral infection.

viral recombination

see recombination.

viral replication

see replication.

viral teratogen

see akabane virus disease, aino virus disease, bovine virus diarrhea, rift valley fever, wesselsbron disease, bluetongue, border disease, classical swine fever (hog cholera), feline panleukopenia.

viral transcription

see transcription.
