Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia characterized by inflammatory exudate within the intra-alveolar space resulting in consolidation that affects a large and continuous area of the lobe of a lung.
ICD-10 code Z87. 01 for Personal history of pneumonia (recurrent) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
481 - Pneumococcal pneumonia [Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia]. ICD-10-CM.
Lobar pneumonia, unspecified organism J18. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J18. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Radiographic evidence of aspiration pneumonia depends on the position of the patient when the aspiration occurred. The right lower lung lobe is the most common site of infiltrate formation due to the larger caliber and more vertical orientation of the right mainstem bronchus.

Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. It can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or meningitis.
X-rays play an important role in distinguishing between these types: the term lobar pneumonia is used if an entire lung lobe is visibly inflamed. Depending on which lung lobe is affected, the pneumonia is referred to as upper, middle or lower lobe pneumonia.
Multilobar pneumonia was defined as chest-radiograph infiltrates involving ≥2 lobes; bilateral when the involved lobes were in both the right and left lungs, unilateral when the affected involved lobes were in the same lung, and localised when only a single pulmonary lobe was involved.
