Aleukocytic pneumonia (p. Aleucocytica, hereinafter PA) is a rare infectious disease that is characterized by damage to the lungs and the absence of leukocytes in the blood.
PA can be caused by a variety of viruses, bacteria and parasites that enter the lungs through the respiratory tract. As a result, inflammation of the lungs occurs, which can lead to serious complications such as respiratory failure, pleurisy, lung abscess and others.
The main symptom of PA is a cough with sputum, which may be accompanied by fever, chest pain and shortness of breath. Weakness, fatigue and loss of appetite may also occur.
To diagnose PA, a blood test is performed in which no leukocytes are detected. X-rays may also show signs of pneumonia.
Treatment for PA may include antibiotics, antivirals, and other medications depending on the cause of the disease. Drinking plenty of fluids, bed rest and breathing exercises are also recommended to improve ventilation.
In general, PA is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. If you notice symptoms of PA, contact your doctor for advice and treatment.
