infection and inflammation of bronchial airways

acute, life threatening condition of lung injury that develops secondary

inflammation of the nasal membranes, caused by allergies

respiratory disease cause by chronic or repetitive inhalation of asbestos fibers

disease marked by episodic narrowing and inflammation of the airways, resulting in wheezing, SOB, and cough

partial collapse of the alveoli and tiny airways of the lung

group of diseases in which alveolar sacs are destroyed and chronic, sever SOB results

repiratory disease caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of coal dust; often called black lung

acute inflammation of the nasal mucosa; the common cold

abnormal crackly lung sound

acute viral disease, usually in children, marked by barking cough

fatal genetic disease that causes frequent respiratory infections, increased airway secretion, and COPD in children

condition in which the nasal septum is displaced to the side, causing the two nares to be unequal

abnormal increase in the size of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchiole and destruction of the alveolar walls

collection of infected fluid between the two pleural membranes that line the lungs

episode of bleeding from the nose; commonly known as a nosebleed

coughing up blood from the respiratory tract

blood or bloody fluid has collected within the intrapleural space, causing lung compression and respiratory distress

systemic respiratory disease caused by a fungus found in soil contaminated with bird droppings

chronic retention of CO2, causing mental cloudiness and lethargy

common, contagious, acute viral respiratory illness

condition of inflammation of the larynx

bacterial lung infection caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila

rounded tissue growths on the nasal or sinal mucosa

dysfunctional breathing that occurs when the upper airway is intermittently blocked during sleep

labored breathing that occurs when lying flat and improves when sitting up

inflammation of the pharynx; commonly called sore throat

excess collection of fluid in the intrapleural space

condition in which the pleurae become inflamed, causing sharp inspiratory chest pain

any disease of the respiratory tract caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of dust particles

bacterial or viral infection of the lungs

air collects in the intrapleural space; categorized as open, closed, spontaneous, or tension, and commonly called collapsed lung

sudden obstruction of a pulmonary blood vessel by debris, blood clots, or other matter

infection caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis

gurgling sound heard in the lungs with a stethoscope

respiratory disease caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of silica dust

inflammation of the lining of the sinus cavities

high-pitched upper airway sound heard without a stethoscope

infection and inflammation of the upper-airway structures, usually caused by a virus; often called a common cold

somewhat musical sound heard in the lungs, usually with a stethoscope, caused by partial airway obstruction
