Infiltration of the lung tissue shifts the transmission of the overtones of the voice, especially of words with a lot of vowels, and the selective transmission gives it a “bleating” character (Greek-Neo-Latin; “goat's voice”).
The examination result with regard to aegophony is positive in a patient if the pronounced "I" of the patient is perceived as an "A" in the auscultation of the lungs through the stethoscope of the examiner ( e.g. in the case of a pneumonic infiltrate).
