Understanding Bronchial and Lung Conditions: Symptoms, Types, and Sounds

This informative guide covers various bronchial and lung conditions that affect the respiratory system. Learn about common issues such as asthma, bronchiectasis, and bronchitis, as well as granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis and tuberculosis. Explore the impact of pneumonia, pneumothorax, and pneumoconiosis, a group of diseases caused by inhaling harmful dust. Recognize lung sounds, including wheeze and stridor, that help indicate respiratory health. Gain insights into symptoms, causes, and diagnostics for better awareness and care.

  4. Lung Conditions Granulomatous (multiple granulomas or small areas of inflammation in tissue) Condition: • sarcoidosis sarc (flesh), -oid (resemble), -osis (condition) Infectious Disease: • tuberculosis (TB) tubercul(a little swelling)

  5. Lung Conditions Granulomatous condition • atelectasis atel (imperfect), -ectasis (dilation, expansion) • (pleurisy) or pleuritis or pleurodyniapleur/o (pleura) • pneumonia or pneumonitis pneumon (lung, air) • pneumothorax pneum/o (air), thorax (chest)

  6. Pneumoconiosis Pneumoconiosis refers to a range of diseases that are caused by the inhalation of a range of organic and non-organic dusts which are then retained in the lungs, such as: • anthracosisanthrac (coal) • mesothelioma mes/o (middle), thel/i(nipple) • siderosis (iron dust), silicosis (quartz/silica dust), berylliosis (beryllium), chalicosis (stone dust)

  7. Lung Sounds • wheeze • rale • rhonchus rhonch(snore), -us (pertaining to) • stridor (in croup or obstruction)
