the alveoli

• Basement membrane

– surfactant (anti-atelectatic
factor)
– participant in regeneration

United basement membrane in
between to ease the gas exchange

Pneumonias in fetuses

Pneumonias in animals
• Mostly caused by microorganisms
– viruses, bacteria
– fungi, parasites
– other causes
• allergy, inhalation of hot gases, aspiration

• Age – special features

young animals
adults

• Pathogens
– Viruses: transplacental infection
– Bacteria, fungi: first inducing placentitis, infection of
the amniotic fluid, infection of the fetus and the lung

• calf

Pneumonia in newborns

Forms of pneumonias

(perinatal pneumonias)

• neonatal pneumonia (collective category)
– Aerogenous infection before the newborn got the
colostrum (in state of hypogammaglobulinaemia)
– inhalation of different bacteria
• calf, foal, goat
Streptococcus sp.
• piglet
Streptococcus sp., E. coli
• birds
E. coli
– Local process continues often to septicemia

• meconium aspiration syndrome
– aspiration during parturition, typical
– or obturation, or pneumonia due to pathogens

Serous bronchopneumonia

Desquamative bronchopneumonia

• definition
– inflammatory process in the parenchyma of the lung often
accompanied with the lesions of the smaller or larger
bronchi

• Forms
– bronchoalveolar
• serous, desquamative, catarrhal, suppurative,
fibrinous (croupous)
– interstitial
– granulomatous
– embolic-metastatic
– aspiration
– special

Desquamative bronchopneumonia

Serous
bronchopneumonia

Normal shape, slightly enlarged,
darker, gland-like by palpation,
doesn’t crepitate when cut, clear
liquid oozes to the cut surface

Desquamative pneumonia

Catarrhal
bronchitis

Bronchoalveolar pneumonia

Fibrinous (croupous) pneumonia

(bronchopneumonia)
•
•

spreads quickly → entire lobes are affected - “Lobar pneumonia”
Development

•

Appearance

– Congestion, hemorrhage, massive exudation, fibrin accumulation
– Fibrin → pleural surface = sero-fibrinous pleuritis
– intense redness, firmer texture, “consolidation”, hepatization (red~, gray~).
– Dilation and thrombosis of lymph vessels → edema → thick septae → marbled
appearance
– Focal coagulative necrosis. “Sequestra”.
– Histology

• massive exudation → fluid obliterates airspace. Neutrophils,
macrophages. Fibroblasts
•

Stages
– initial phase

Extension:

• stadium incrementi s. hyperaemicum
– phase of hepatisation (std. hepatisationis)

lobules - lobular
lobes - lobal
focal - pseudolobular

• red hepatisation (std. h. rubrae)
• grey hepatisation (std. h. griseae)
• yellow hepatisation (std. h. flavae)
– phase of resolution (std. resolutionis)

•

Croupous (fibrinous) pneumonia

nasal discharge: mucoid or mucopurulent (P. m., B. b., Str.)

Croupous (fibrinous) pneumonia

3
Croupous pneumonia

Croupous pneumonia – stadium incrementi

Croupous pneumonia - hepatisation

Grey hepatisation

Croupous pneumonia – hemorrhagic character

Healing of the croupous pneumonia
• restitutio ad integrum
– if the integrity of the tissue structure is maintained
– freed enzymes of the degenerated neutrophils cause
– fibrinolysis
• partially absorbtion (lymph vessels)
• partially expectoration
– epithel layer of the acini regenerates

• restitutio cum defectu
– connective tissue proliferation from the wall of the
respiratory ducts
– carnificatio pulmonum

4
Croupous pneumonia

Croupous pneumonia

• Due to direct (thrombotic) effect of the pathogen
– Smaller or larger necrotic foci
– Sometime hemorrhagic character
– Secondary ichorous pneumonia on the affected areas

• Cause of death:
– Suffocation or heart failure
– Following croupous pneumonia
• Metastatic foci – focal necrotizing-purulent-ichorous
pneumonia
• Allergic reaction in horses
– Hemorrhagic purpura, septic pododermatitis,
uveitis, urticaria

Pathology of the croupous pneumonia
•
•
•
•
•
•

shape maintained
enlarged
marbled
liver-like (in stages of hepatisation)
No crepitation on cutting!
cut surface
– mottled, homogenous
– dry, uneven, granular

Aspiration pneumonia

Aspiration pneumonia
• Different aspirated substances
– amniotic fluid
– milk, saliva, food, drinking water, blood
– fluid used for gastric lavage, contrast medium used for
filling the GI tract
– eructated or vomited gastric content

• Consequences are different according to
– what type of material and what amount is aspirated
– where did the substance go
– if there where any putrefactive bacteria present

Aspiration pneumonia

5
Aspiration pneumonia

Aspiration pneumonia
• Putrid bronchitis
– Putrefactive bacteria colonize in the mucous membrane
of the bronchi
– the mucous membrane necrotizes
– accompanied with putrid smell, the tissue debris
becomes soft fluid
– all the layers of the bronchi are affected
– if there is enough time, the lungs also become affected
• usually the animal dies because of the absorbed
toxins

Ichorous pneumonia

Ichorous pneumonia

• Way of infection:
– Aerogenous infection (aspiration)
• putrid bronchitis first, than spreading to the lungs
• starts from the airways
– lympho-haematogenous infection may occur

• disseminated foci
• from the blood vessels of the interstitium
• Due to putrefactive bacteria
– coagulation necrosis
– secondary softening in the necrotized areas
• putrid smell, histolytic tissue debris causing intoxication
(sapraemia)
– acute ichorous abscess, ichorous cavern (cavity)
• Slow, delayed demarcation

Interstitial pneumonia
• Majority of the lesions
– In the interstitium

83. Interstitial, suppurative
and embolic pneumonias
(in general)

• Most typical lesions:
– acute, subacute, chronic proliferative inflammation
– besides proliferative processes immunpathological
processes, accumulation of immune cells

• Appearance:
– intralobular (interalveolar)
– interlobular – between the lobules
– peribronchial – around the small bronchi

Immunpathologic process

Intralobular (interalveolar) interstitial pneumonia

Intralobular (interalveolar) interstitial pneumonia

Peribronchial interstitial pneumonia

Interstitial pneumonia
• Proliferative processes in the alveoli
– Epithelisation
• pneumocyta II.
– Pseudoepithelisation
• alveolar macrophages

• Age of the process
– acute – histiocyte and macrophage proliferation
– subacute – pronounced cell proliferation
– chronic – severe fibrosis

7
Pathogen has an effect inside the alveoli
Intralobular (interalveolar) interstitial pneumonia

Epithelisation

Pseudoepithelisation

Chronic interstitial pneumonia

Suppurative pneumonia
(pneumonia purulenta)

Purulent bronchopneumonia

• Typically embolic or metastatic
• If hematogenous:
– Purulent process somewhere in the body → distributed
abscesses in the lung
(no surrounding inflammation)

• If bronchiogenous:
– First catarrhal or croupous pneumonia occurs and
secondary purulent foci are formed

• Pathogens:
– cattle/pig → Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes
– rabbit → Staphylococcus aureus
– horse → Streptococcus equi, Rhodococcus equi

8
Purulent bronchopneumonia

Pneumonia with granulome formation
• Accompaying other disease
– Lympho-hematogenous metastasis

• Embolic-metastatic pneumonia
• Possible nodules
– necrotic foci
– purulent (ichorous) abcesses
– ichorous foci

• Appearance:
– solitaer focus (smaller - larger)
– evenly disseminated foci
– foci of the same age / or prolonged form

Necrotic pneumonia

Sequestrum formation after necrotic pneumonia

Mass of necrotic lung parenchyma
seprated from viable lung tissue by
purulent exudate and usually
encased in a fibrous capsule

9
Embolic-metastatic pneumonia

Chronic purulent abscess formation
(cut surface)

Port of entry

Purulent-ichorous pneumonia

Granulomatous pneumonia

Granulomatous pneumonia

10
Granulomatous pneumonia

Locus minoris resistanciae

Special pneumonias
• Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
– serous-hemorrhagic-proliferative-necrotizing
• in hours, death in 1-2 days
• pronounced macrophage proliferation
• extended demarcation
– sero-fibrinous pleuritis
• perifocal edema

• Anthrax
– Aerogenous infection (piglet inhales the spores)
– Serous, hemorrhagic, necrotizing pneumonia
– Spore reaches the deep areas of the lung, starts to
proliferate → rapid course
