Typically, such pneumonia develops with a weakened immune system, after suffering from respiratory diseases or in the presence of chronic diseases of the respiratory system.

One of the main symptoms of perifocal pneumonia is a cough with a small amount of sputum. Fever, shortness of breath and weakness may also occur. However, these signs may be hidden or not clearly expressed, which makes diagnosing the disease difficult.

To diagnose perifocal pneumonia, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient, including a general blood and urine test, bacteriological studies of sputum and other biological fluids, X-ray studies of the respiratory system, as well as computed tomography.

Treatment of perifocal pneumonia should be aimed at eliminating the cause of the disease and symptomatic therapy. Patients are usually prescribed a course of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and drugs that improve respiratory function. An important aspect of treatment is also maintaining the patient's immunity.

In general, perifocal pneumonia can lead to serious complications, so it is important to consult a doctor promptly and undergo regular medical examinations. Maintaining good respiratory hygiene and strengthening your immune system will also help prevent the development of this disease.
