Inflammation in the interstitial spaces, the alveoli and often the bronchioles
By surviving lung defenses including inflammation, Organisms penetrate airway mucosa and multiply in alveolar spaces
WBCs migrate to infection causing a capillary leak, edema and exudate
Fluids collect in and around alveoli and the walls thicken reducing gas exchange
The capillary leak spreads infection to other areas of the lung and if the organisms move into the bloodstream sepsis results
(Lewis, Heitkemper, Dirksen,& Bücher.2012)
Fibrin and edema of inflammation stiffen lung reducing vital capacity
Alveolar collapse further reducing gas exchange to blood causing hypoxemia
