fibrotic


Explanation:
karnefizierende Herde = fibrotic (pulmonary) lesions

Bei chronischem Verlauf der Pneumonie kann es zu einer Fibrosierung des betroffenen Lungenareals kommen, die als Karnifizierung bezeichnet wird.

Als Komplikationen treten häufig Pleuritis, Pleuraempyem (bei Pneumokokken), bei Immunsupprimierten Karnifizierung (Fibrosierung bei chronischem Verlauf)...
