title: [Morphological signs of acute lung lesion in patients with caseous pneumonia].
abstract: The authors conducted light optical and electron microscopic studies of caseum-free resected lung parenchymal portions from 11 patients with caseous pneumonia. All cases were found to have severe vascular bed permeability impairments, developed extensive intraalveolar edema, destruction of both type 1 respiratory alveolocytes and surfactant-producing type 2 alveolocytes. Release of plasma proteins into the intraalveolar space and their interaction with extracellular phospholipoproteins gave rise to hyaline masses.
