(Created page with "'''Staining''': HE '''Organ''': Lung '''Description''': The otherwise normal parenchyme contain multiple foci. The alveoli inside these foci are filled with exudate and acute inflammatory cells, mostly neutrophils. '''Diagnosis''': Bronchopneumonia '''Theory''': Compare this slide to lobar pneumonia, slide number 25. In bronchopneumonia is the inflammation present in foci spread evenly throughout all lobes.
