The radiographic appearances of inflammatory lung disease in the horse are presented under three major morphologic categories: (a) parenchymal diseases, (b) airway diseases, (c) pleural diseases. Under the category of inflammatory parenchymal disorders, pneumonias of bacterial, viral, mycotic, parasitic, and immunologic origins are discussed. Airway disorders described included bronchitis, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, and emphysema. Pleural effusion as well as less common manifestations of pleural disease, are also discussed.
