Upala pluća

Also known as: Plućna infekcija

Upala pluća upala je plućnog tkiva, najčešće uzrokovana bakterijskom infekcijom, ali i udisanjem hrane ili tekućine (aspiracijom), virusima, gljivama ili parazitima. Zahvaćeno plućno tkivo ispunjava se upalnom tekućinom, što narušava izmjenu plinova. Aspiracijska upala pluća česta je kod pasa s megaezofagusom, paralizom grkljana ili nakon povraćanja. Tijek varira od blagog do po život opasnog.
