title: [The ultrastructural changes in the air-blood barrier in the acute period of a myocardial infarct with the development of pneumonia (data from autopsy materials)].
abstract: In this paper, the author highlights the ultrastructural changes in the lung respiratory zone during the acute period of myocardial infarction in origination and development of pneumonia. The development of inflammatory process was found out to be preceded by microcirculation disorders, focal damage to the gas-blood barrier, and lung tissue bacterial contamination at day 2 to 4 of the course of myocardial infarction. The exudate was seen to contain much fibrin, alveolar macrophages, and erythrocytes. The lung tissue develops albuminous and fatty degeneration with the alveolar septa and lumina storing fibrin and fatty drops.
