Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A localized area of pus formation in the lungs is indicative of a pulmonary abscess. This is a type of lung infection that results in the formation of a cavity filled with pus within the lung tissue. The other options listed do not involve pus formation in the lungs, but rather refer to other conditions such as fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary edema), blockage of the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary embolism), fluid accumulation around the lungs (pleural effusion), or inflammation of the membranes surrounding the lungs (pleurisy).
