Coal (anthrac/o=black) dust
66
Pneumonia
Acute inflammation and infection of alveoli, which fill with pus or products of the inflammatory reaction.
67
Pulmonary abscess
Large collection of pus (bacterial infection) in the lungs.
68
Pulmonary edema
Fluid in the air sacs and bronchioles.
69
Pulmonary embolism (PE)
Clot or other material lodges in vessels of the lung.
70
Pulmonary fibrosis
Formation of scar tissue in the connective tissue of the lung.
