'''Cavitary Pneumonia''' is a disease in which the normal lung architecture is replaced by a cavity.  In the healthy lung, oxygen transport occurs at the level of the [[alveoli]] which has an average size of 0.1 mm.  These air spaces can become enlarge by a number of processes: bacterial infection ([[Tuberculosis]]), fungal infection, [[vasculitis]] ([[Wegener's granulomatosis]]), [[collagen vascular disease]] ([[Sjögren's syndrome]]) or granulomatous disease ([[Sarcoidosis]]).
