KROK 1 2007 – Question 165 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
A forensic medical expert examines the body of a 58 y.o. man who had been consuming large amounts of alcohol for a long time and died at home. Macroscopically: the right lung is dense and enlarged, its incision revealed that the tissue is greyish and homogenous, pleura is covered with greyish layers. Microscopically - alveolar cavities contain fibrin, hemolyzed erythrocytes. Make a diagnosis:
- A. Interstitial pneumonia
- B. Croupous pneumonia
- C. Primary pulmonary tuberculosis
- D. Caseous pneumonia
- E. Focal pneumonia
Hint
Combine the dense, uniformly grey airless lung, fibrin-covered pleura and fibrin-filled alveoli to decide which morphological form of pneumonia affects a whole lobe.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
