What is the difference between pneumonia and bronchopneumonia

Bronchopneumonia is a type of pneumonia.

In general, pneumonia can have different manifestations according to different classification methods, including the following classification methods, which can be divided into lobar pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia according to the pathological type.

Second, according to the classification of etiology, it can be divided into viral pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, cytomegalovirus and enterovirus, bacterial pneumonia may include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, pneumobacterium, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, etc.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by infection of pneumonia. Chlamydia pneumonia is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae, fungal pneumonia is caused by Candida albicans, etc. Pneumonitis caused by non-infectious causes, such as aspiration pneumonia and fecal pneumonia, is eosinophilic pneumonia, etc.

According to the course of the disease, it can be divided into acute pneumonia within one month, persistent pneumonia within one to three months, and chronic pneumonia for more than three months.

According to the classification of the disease, it can be classified as mild, with other systems except the respiratory system not affected or only slightly affected.

The second is severe pneumonia, which involves other systems other than the respiratory system, and atypical pneumonia can be divided into atypical pneumonia and atypical pneumonia according to clinical manifestations, just like the SARS epidemic in China in 2002, which is mainly caused by viral infection because typical pneumonia is different, it is collectively called atypical pneumonia, which we call SARS.
