_Interstitial_. _Interlobular_: Affecting mainly the interlobular
connective tissue.
_Hypostatic_: Dependent on gravitation of the blood.
_Metastatic_: Due to embolism.
_Parasitic_: Caused by parasites. Due to wounds or foreign bodies.
_Contagious_ and _Traumatic Pneumonia_.
Many of these are, however, but localizations of the same affection and
others are manifestly microbian diseases which in the present state of
pathology it is not always easy to early distinguish sufficiently for
clinical and therapeutic purposes. For the sake of convenience therefore
pneumonia will here be treated of generally, and under the headings
devoted to etiology, pathology, therapeutics, etc., attention will be
given to distinctions. Those pneumonias that are but pulmonary
manifestations of other diseases—influenza, glanders, tuberculosis,
strangles, contagious pneumo-enteritis, lung plague, septicæmia, pyæmia,
swine plague, hog cholera, petechial fever, actinomycosis, and neoplasms
will be considered under these respective headings.
ACUTE CROUPOUS PNEUMONIA. PNEUMONITIS IN THE HORSE.
Definition. Differentiation from acute vascular congestion.
Predisposing causes, age, sex, stabling, training, diet, impure air,
low health, previous lung disease, plethora, climate, season, exciting
causes, chill, fatigue, leucomaines, sudor, draughts, plunging in or
spraying with cold water, clipping, inhalation of irritant smoke, gas,
dust, drawing of food, irritating or insoluble drugs into the lungs,
neoplasms, parasites, contusions, fractured ribs, punctures,
contagion, plurality of germs, bacillus of Friedländer, micrococcus of
Talamon and Fränkel, diplococcus pneumoniæ equina of Schütz,
diplococcus pneumoniæ equina of Cadeac. Symptoms, chill, hyperthermia,
dullness on percussion and crepitation in the lower part of the lung,
reaction, congested mucosæ, accelerated labored breathing, excited
circulation, pulse oppressed, cough deep, patient statant, elbows
everted, nose protruded, nostrils dilated, approaching door or window,
pinched countenance, skin dry, harsh, adherent, partial sweats, loins
insensible, nasal discharge rusty, dependent part of lung largely
non-resonant, with peripheral crepitation. Blowing in abnormal
situation over hepatized lung. Decubitus, its significance. Course.
Results. Favorable indications in pulse, breathing, face, temperature,
appetite, decubitus, clearing of lung. Unfavorable indications in
breathing, pulse, fever, face, uneasy movements, pawing, cold limbs,
prostration, nervousness, weakness. Sabacuto Pneumonia. Terminations
of pneumonia, death, resolution, splenisation, abscess, gangrene, red
hepatisation, gray hepatisation, fibrinous consolidation. Lesions.
Congestion, exudation and cell growth, hepatization—red and gray,
deliquescence, abscess. Blood, loss of red globules, increase of
white, excess of fibrine, glandular swelling, pleurisy, degenerations
