MEN is characterized by a
Consolidation
predilection for rumors involving
1st 24H
two or more endocrine glands
Cellular exidates containing
neutrophils, lymphocytes and
fibrin
Caoillaries are congested
Infections spread to the hilum
and pleura – pleurisy
Red Hepatization
2-3 days
Consistency of the lungs
resembles liver
Lung becomes hypeamic
Alveolar capillaries – engorged
with blood
Fibrinous exudates fill alveoli
Prsence of many erythrocytes,
neutrophils and epithelial and
fibrin
Grey Hepatization
2-3 days after RH
Avscular stage
Lung appears gray-brown to
yellow – fibrinopurulent
exudates, disintegration of red
cells and hemosiderin
Resolution
Resorption and restoration of the
pulmonary architecture
Large number of macrophages
enter the alveolar spaces

Pulsus parvus et tardus- weak and late peaking delayed pulse
Murmur: Ehection mid systilic crescendo-decrescendo murmur
shortly after S1ults
Aortic Can be caused by primary aortic valve diseaseor primary aortic root
regurgitation disease
Acute AR: (endocarditis, aortic disss): Pulmonary edema and

Chronic AR: long asymptomatic period while LV gradually enlarges,
then symptoms develop- palpiatations, exert. Dyspnea, HF
Austin Flint murmur - soft low-pitched rumbling mid to late diastolic
murmur at apex

each systole in severe AR
Quincke’s pulse - visible capillary pulsations at the root of the nail
with pressure
Traube sign – booming pistol shot sound over femoral arteries
Duroziez sign – to and for murmur when femoral artery is
compressed
Muller sign – systolic pulsations of the uvula
Water- Hammer(Corrigans pulse) – bounding and forceful pulse,
rapidly increasing and collapsing
