Lobar pneumonia affects a large area of the one of the lobes of the lung. Bronchopneumonia is a form of pneumonia that also includes the inflammation of the bronchi.
Bronchopneumonia
Bacterial pneumonia is often characterized by alveolar consolidation, where the alveoli in the lungs fill with pus and fluid. This can be seen on chest X-rays as patchy or lobar opacities. Treatment usually involves antibiotics.

There are five (5) secondary bronchi (aka lobar bronchi). Three (3) on the right: 1) superior lobar bronchi 2) middle lobar bronchi 3) inferior lobar bronchi And two (2) on the left: 4) superior lobar bronchi 5) inferior lobar bronchi
"Lobar bronchus" literally means a bronchus that supplies a lobe of the lung. It is a branch of the main bronchus that further divides into smaller bronchi to provide air to specific lung lobes.
Bronchopneumonia can be fatal, especially in elderly individuals or those with weakened immune systems. Prompt medical treatment is crucial in order to prevent serious complications and improve outcomes.
