This gross photograph of lung taken at autopsy demonstrates the degree of emphysematous change (arrows). Also note that the rest of the lung is consolidated, indicating a pneumonia.

Consolidation is the filling of lung air spaces with exudate--this is a sign of pneumonia.

In alcoholics, aspiration pneumonia is common--bacteria enter the lung via aspiration of gastric contents.
