@eswietlik -- we should probably add a few other septic embolism term. What do you think about the list here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK549827/

@pnrobinson Great idea. Shall I add them?

@eswietlik is this definition ok?

Embolization of intravascular thrombus containing microorganisms into the pulmonary parenchyma via arterial system. Septic pulmonary embolism can be associated with multiple additional clinical manifestations such as fever, tachypnea, and hemoptysis. This HPO term refers to the finding of the septic embolus in the lung, which can be inferred from radiological findings. Typical radiographic features of septic PE include patchy air space lesions simulating non-specific bronchopneumonia; multiple ill defined round or wedge shaped densities of varying sizes from approximately 0.5 to 3.5 cm located peripherally; lesions abutting the pleura and located at the end of vessels (feeding vessel sign) seen on chest CT scans. Other pulmonary features suggesting septic PE include bilateral, occasional unilateral, rapid progression of cavities or abscess formations.
