A member asked:
What is the main difference between bronchial pneumonia and just pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bronchopneumonia: This term typically applies to pneumonia which involves multiple areas of the lung rather than being confined to one lobe or otherwise localized. It may also suggest the means by which the pneumonia occurred, implying that it was preceded by bronchial infection or extension through the bronchi.
