Pneumonia In Webster's Dictionary
\Pneu*mo"ni*a\ (n[-u]*m[=o]"n[i^]*[.a]), n. [NL., fr.
Gr. pneymoni`a, fr. pney`mwn, pl. pney`mones the lungs, also,
pley`mwn, which is perh. the original form. Cf. {Pneumatio},
{Pulmonary}.] (Med.)
Inflammation of the lungs.
Note:
{Catarrhal pneumonia}, or {Broncho-pneumonia}, is
inflammation of the lung tissue, associated with catarrh
and with marked evidences of inflammation of bronchial
membranes, often chronic; -- also called {lobular
pneumonia}, from its affecting single lobules at a time.
{Croupous pneumonia}, or ordinary pneumonia, is an acute
affection characterized by sudden onset with a chill, high
fever, rapid course, and sudden decline; -- also called
{lobar pneumonia}, from its affecting a whole lobe of the
lung at once. See under {Croupous}.
{Fibroid pneumonia} is an inflammation of the interstitial
connective tissue lying between the lobules of the lungs,
and is very slow in its course, producing shrinking and
atrophy of the lungs.
