  • Title: [Morphological signs of acute lung lesion in patients with caseous pneumonia].
    Author: Erokhin VV, Lepekha LN, Zhilin IuN, Karpina NL.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2006; (10):43-7. PubMed ID: 17139832.
    Abstract:
    The authors conducted light optical and electron microscopic studies of caseum-free resected lung parenchymal portions from 11 patients with caseous pneumonia. All cases were found to have severe vascular bed permeability impairments, developed extensive intraalveolar edema, destruction of both type 1 respiratory alveolocytes and surfactant-producing type 2 alveolocytes. Release of plasma proteins into the intraalveolar space and their interaction with extracellular phospholipoproteins gave rise to hyaline masses.
