Which statement best differentiates acute from chronic bronchitis?
Acute bronchitis is most often due to viral infections, while chronic bronchitis is commonly associated with long term smoking
Both forms have identical causes and duration

Diffuse patchy infiltrates due to interstitial edema
Increased markings from inflammatory exudates
Epiglottitis is most common in which age group, and why is rapid diagnosis imperative?
Infants under 1 year, because of sudden onset respiratory failure
Adolescents, due to mild symptoms that may be overlooked
Children aged 2 to 5, because swelling can quickly lead to complete airway obstruction
Elderly patients, due to associated comorbidities
Which of the following best differentiates benign from malignant lung neoplasms?
Benign neoplasms are typically small, sharply defined, and peripheral. Malignant neoplasms often begin as slight shadows that become more opaque, with biopsy needed for diagnosis
Both benign and malignant neoplasms appear identical on imaging
