Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Egophony, bronchophony, and whispered pectoriloquy are physical examination findings that suggest increased lung density, which is characteristic of pneumonia. These findings indicate that the sound of the patient's voice is transmitted more clearly through the lung tissue, which is typical in conditions where the lung becomes consolidated, as in pneumonia.
