Adenopneumopathy (adenopneumopathia; adeno- + Greek pneumon lung + pathos suffering, disease) is a pathological process affecting lymphoid tissue and lungs.
Adenopneumopathy can occur in various diseases, such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lymphomas and others. In this case, the lymph nodes of the mediastinum and lung tissue are affected.
Clinically, adenopneumopathy is manifested by enlargement of the lymph nodes of the mediastinum, which leads to compression of the bronchi and the development of respiratory failure. There is also damage to the lung tissue in the form of infiltrative changes, areas of fibrosis, cavities and bronchiectasis.
Diagnosis of adenopneumopathy is based on clinical and radiological data and the results of bronchoscopy with biopsy. Treatment depends on the underlying disease and is aimed at eliminating the cause of the pathological process.
**Adeno-pneumopathy**: Adeno- means glandular. Pneumo - from the word “pneumos”, which means air, air in the lungs, that is, localization of changes for adenopneumonia in the lungs is present. Finally, patho—from the word “pathos”—sick, the disease is a pathological process. Adenopneumonematosis.
Description !The most common cause of pneumonia in children and adults is bacterial (staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumococcal bacteria). Less commonly, pneumonia can be caused by viruses or fungi. Often pneumonia is a complication of other diseases, for example, bronchitis, influenza, measles, tuberculosis. The following causes of pneumonia are also distinguished: hypothermia; entry of a foreign body into the lungs or trachea; traumatic injury to the chest; smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction; disruption of the immune system; anesthesia If the lung tissue is damaged, infection enters through the damaged structure, inflammation occurs, and then the risk of developing pneumonia.
