Consolidation in the lungs occurs when the fluid accumulated causes the lung tissue to become stiff and unable to exchange gases. The symptoms of this include chest pain, cough and fever. A health care provider may use a physical examination to check for consolidation.
Pneumonia (lobar pneumonia and bronchopnemonia) is the most common cause of pulmonary consolidation. Although pneumonia may be due to a host of causes, consolidation is often seen with infectious pneumonia in the middle to late stages.
