KROK 1 2008 – Question 196 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
The upper lobe of the right lung is enlarged, grey and airless, the incision surface is dripping with turbid liquid, the pleura has many fibrinogenous films; microscopical examination of alveoles revealed exudate containing neutrophils, desquamated alveolocytes and fibrin fibers. The bronchus wall is intact. What is the most probable diagnosis?
- A. Focal pneumonia
- B. Pulmonary abscess
- C. Interstitial pneumonia
- D. Croupous pneumonia
- E. Influenzal pneumonia
Hint
Decide whether the inflammation involves a whole lobe or patches centred on bronchi, what the exudate is made of, and whether the bronchial wall takes part; then match the stage in which the lung is grey and airless.
