25
sequelae of bronchiectasis
- irreversible! | - progression of inflamm. --> continued bronchial damage, pneumonia
26
bronchiolitis obliterans
obstruction of the bronchiolar lumen by fibrous connective tissue
27
atelectasis
collapse of the lung
28
2 types of atelectasis
1) neonatal (inadequate surfactant) | 2) acquired (compressive or obstructive)
29
compressive atelectasis
fluid, air, mass compress lung or results in loss of neg. pleural pressure
30
why are cattle most easily affected by obstructive atelectasis?
don't have collateral circulation in lungs. | *post-obstructive atelectasis most common in cattle*
31
path. significance of atelectasis
- segment of lung underventilated | - if widespread --> hypoxemia
32
sequelae of atelectasis
1) resolution of cause: reinflation 2) alveolar edema 3) secondary bacterial pneumonia 4) fibrosis and irreversible collapse
33
pulmonary emphysema
enlarged gas-filled space in the lung | -can be alveolar or interstitial
34
path. significance of alveolar emphysema
- decreased alveolar/capillary SA - loss of radial support for airways: early closure - decreased elastic properties; increased compliance and residual lung capacity - pulmonary hypertension
35
which type of emphysema is irreversible?**
alveolar
36
interstitial emphysema
excess gas in the pulmonary interstitium | -occurs in species w/ extensive interlobular septa
37
pathogenesis of interstitial emphysema
1) forced expiration against obstructed airways | 2) gas dissects into interstitial tissue (interlobular septa, perivascular areas, subpleural tissues)
38
pathological significance of interstitial emphysema
compression of lobules decreases ventilation (restrictive lung disease)
39
interstitial emphysema sequelae
1) resolution 2) progression: mediastinum and subcutis (gas bubbles) 3) secondary infection of pockets 4) fibrosis and parenchymal loss
40
**5 most common things that lead to edema in the lung**
1) inc. hydrostatic pressure assoc. w/ CV abnormalities 2) inc. permeability of vessels assoc. with inflamm. or injuries 3) obstruction of lymphatics 4) hypoalbuminemia/decreased oncotic pressure 5) increased sodium
41
Q: most common cause of bronchiectasis a) viral infection b) chronic dust inhalation c) chronic bacterial infection
C)chronic bacterial infection
42
Q: which is reversible? a) bronchiectasis b) bronchiolitis obliterans c) atelectasis d) alveolar emphysema
c) atelectasis
43
pneumonia
inflamm. of the pulmonary gas exchange parenchyma | - causes: infectious, toxic, immunologic, mixed
44
distr. of aspiration pneumonia
cranioventral
45
4 distribution types of pneumonia
focal multifocal locally-extensive diffuse
46
4 main morphologic classifications of pneumonia
1) bronchopneumonia 2) interstitial pneumonia (rare) 3) focal or multifocal (embolic) 4) mixed (ie bronchointerstitial)
47

48
pathogenesis of bronchopneumonia
- deposition of causative agent in terminal bronchioles and alveoli - early damage in proximal acinar areas w/ spread into surrounding alveolar parenchyma
49
gross morph. of bronchopneumonia
-cranioventral +/- fibrinous pleuritis, lobar distribution -chronic --> fibrosis and lymphadenomegally
50
histo of bronchopneumonia
- abundant exudate in alveoli including neuts, fibrin, necrotic debris - airway oriented lesions initially
51
pathophysiologic significance of bronchopneumonia
- airway obstruction - infiltration of walls and filling of alveoli --> stiffer lungs - exudate and alveolar wall thickening --> dec. diffuse capacity - pleuritis may contribute to restrictive disease
52
bronchopneumonia sequelae
- resolution - death - septicemia - chronic bronchopneumonia w/ bronchiolitis obliterans and bronchiectasis +/- pleural adhesions
53
interstitial pneumonia pathogenesis
- primary injury to elements of the interalveolar septum: epithelial, endothelial - causes: infectious, toxic, hypersensitivity
54
gross morph. of interstitial pneumonia
diffuse or locally extensive firm, large, red
55
histo morph. of interstitial pneumonia
- acute: type 1 epithelial necrosis - subacute: type 2 hyperplasia, alveolar septa thickening, mononuclear cells - chronic: fibrosis
56
pathophys. significance of interstitial pneumonia
- -> decreased compliance, increased stiffness | - dec. diffusion capacity --> hypoxemia
57
interstitial pneumonia sequelae
- resolution - death - fibrosis of interalveolar septa and progressive restrictive lung dz
58
Q: if distr. of pneumonia is cranioventral, it is most likely: a) aspiration pneumonia b) fungal pneumonia c) viral pneumonia d) bronchopneumonia e) interstitial pneumonia
d) bronchopneumonia
59
Q: most likely causes of bronchopneumonia a) bacteria b) virus c) aspiration d) A and B e) A and C
A and C
60
Q: if pneumonia is diffuse, the least likely cause is: a) virus b) protozoa c) toxins d) aspiration e) bacterial septicemia
d) aspiration
61
if it ain't firm...
...it ain't pneumonia
62
pathogenesis of acute viral pneumonia
- virus replicates in resp. airway and alveolar epithelial cells - induces inflamm. and immune response - inflamm. in parenchyma is focused on interalveolar septa - viral replication is effectively halted before diffuse interstitial pneumonia develops
63
morph. features of acute viral pneumonia
virus-induced epithelial injury and inflamm. manifesting as: - rhinitis - tracheitis/bronchitis - bronchiolitis - patchy interstitial pneumonia
64
chars. of chronic viral pneumonia
- assoc. with viruses that replicate in macs and/or depress or escape antiviral immunologic mechs. - virus spreads throughout the lung and induces diffuse interstitial pneumonia
65
ex. of chronic viral pneumonia viruses
ovine progressive pneumonia | canine distemper virus
