This is a gross photograph of the lungs from this case. Note the abscesses (arrows) especially in the lower lobes. The entire lung is consolidated.
An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
Consolidation is the filling of lung air spaces with exudate--this is a sign of pneumonia.
