Pneumonia Hemorrhagic

Hemorrhagic pneumonia is a severe infectious disease of the lungs, characterized by massive hemorrhage into the lung tissue, occurring spontaneously or in response to viral damage to the capillary walls, often found in heart disease, after typhus and other infectious diseases, after radiation therapy of malignant tumors. Pneumonia is classified as secondary bleeding.

Men get sick more often. The disease occurs when the body's defenses are reduced, hypothermia, infectious diseases, severe operations, injuries, wounds, and physical overload. Massive hemorrhage is accompanied by the spread of the inflammatory process in various parts of the lungs with the appearance of focal opacities with a tendency to merge and extensive atelectasis.

With pronounced blood stasis in the pulmonary circulation, cyanosis, tachycardia and tachypnea occur. Cardiac and respiratory failure develop rapidly, and sepsis may develop. Nosebleeds. Pneumotachia over the lungs on x-ray helps in the early diagnosis of hemorrhagic pneumonia. Often the disease occurs in a severe form with toxic cerebral edema, that is, acute parenchymal encephalomyelitis is formed.
