Overview

The pathologic process starts with the inoculation of tracheobranchial epithelium with invading organism, which leads to inflammation, thickening and increased mucus production.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • The causative agent is transmitted through the large and medium size airway tracts.[1]
  • Following transmission, the agent inoculates the tracheobronchial epithelium.
  • This process leads to inflammation, thickening, and increased mucus production in the airways compared to normal bronchi as shown below:
