Basal pneumonia is considered one of the most complex forms of the disease. There are adults and children who can deal with it. In order to avoid the unpleasant consequences inherent in all forms and types of pneumonia, it is advisable to begin the illness as early as possible.
Causes of radical pneumonia
Radical pneumonia is called inflammation of the lung tissue, which is located in an atypical place for the disease - in the roots of the lung. The cause of this inflammation is infection. Getting into the body and getting favorable for growth and development conditions, harmful microorganisms begin to multiply. True, with basal pneumonia they do it already at the level of large bronchi. The periprocess, developing on this background, spreads along the paramediastinal space, not particularly touching the peripheral tissues.
Right-sided radical pneumonia is diagnosed more often left-sided. It's all about the peculiarities of the structure of the main bronchi. On the right side, the main bronchus is broader and shorter. Infections develop in it much easier than in the longer and narrower right bronchus.
The main symptoms of radical pneumonia
There are two main forms of the disease:
- tumor-like;
- inflammatory.
Inflammatory radical pneumonia is characterized by a protracted course. Remissions are often replaced by exacerbations. The patient's body weakens, and with every new wave of disease it becomes increasingly difficult to fight.
With tumor-like radical pneumonia, the course of the disease is torpid. At the root of the affected lung, small tubercles develop. Often, as a result of pressure, segmental and lobar atelectasis of the lung develop.
Regardless of the form of the disease, the patient has to deal with such symptoms as:
- coughing;
- heat (which in some cases can be knocked down is almost impossible);
- headache;
- weakness;
- leukocytosis ;
- increased level of ESR in the blood.

Treatment of radical pneumonia
The main problem of radical pneumonia is in difficult diagnosis. The manifestations and appearance of the disease on X-ray images are very similar to the symptoms of tuberculosis or central lung cancer.
Intensive treatment should be started immediately after diagnosis. It is necessary to fight infection with the help of special antibacterial drugs. During recovery, you can seek help with physiotherapy.
