KROK 1 Stomatology 2014 – Question 170 · KROK (Dentistry)

A 47-year-old patient with symptoms of severe intoxication and respiratory failure died. A section of lung tissue had a mottled pattern with multiple small focal hemorrhages and foci of emphysema. Histological examination revealed hemorrhagic bronchopneumonia accompanied by abscess; the cytoplasm of bronchial epithelial cells had eosinophil and basophil inclusions. According to the section analysis, make your diagnosis:

  1. A. Influenza
  2. B. Respiratory syncytial infection
  3. C. Staphylococcal bronchopneumonia
  4. D. Adenovirus infection
  5. E. Parainfluenza
Hint

Combine the hemorrhagic character of the pneumonia with the viral inclusions in the bronchial epithelium of an adult who died of severe intoxication.
