The lung infections were mainly bronchopneumonia or acute purulent bronchitis superimposed upon chronic bronchitis. Delayed pulmonary edema, cyanosis or bronchopneumonia may develop. Also, multifocal hemorrhages, splenomegaly, bronchopneumonia, pulmonary hemorrhage or edema, and myocardial necrosis ma be seen. Bronchopneumonia is usually a bacterial pneumonia rather than being caused by viral disease. Bronchopneumonia is less likely than lobar pneumonia to be associated with "Streptococcus pneumoniae". Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. BTC can lead to bronchitis and bronchopneumonia, depressed weight gain and gasping. When present in great number, septic emboli can coalesce and mimick a lobar or bronchopneumonia. The doctor diagnosed Tasca as having contracted bronchopneumonia. Bronchopneumonia may sometimes be diagnosed after death, during autopsy. The Death Certificate states cause of death as being bronchopneumonia and paralysis agitans. On December 19, 1963, Liebling was hospitalized for bronchopneumonia. Mr. Dirksen initially did well, but progressive complications developed into bronchopneumonia. He died in Seattle suffering from malnutrition and an advanced stage of bronchopneumonia. Her cause of death was officially listed as cardiac arrest secondary to bronchopneumonia.
