noun
pulmonary apicitis; catarrh of the pulmonary apex
Medical term for inflammation of the mucous membrane at the apex of the lung; often associated with early tuberculosis.
肺尖カタルは結核の初期症状として知られている。
Pulmonary apicitis is known as an early symptom of tuberculosis.
Standard modern medical term; カタル is the katakana rendering of 'catarrh'.
Historical ateji spelling; rarely used today.
肺結核 is pulmonary tuberculosis, the disease itself, while 肺尖カタル refers specifically to inflammation at the lung apex, often a precursor or early sign.
Compound of 肺尖 (pulmonary apex) and カタル (from German 'Katarrh', meaning catarrh). The ateji spelling 加答児 is historical.
