Pneumonia

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs (alveoli) in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus, causing symptoms such as a cough with phlegm, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. It can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening, particularly for infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

Common Symptoms

Watch for these key indicators or warning signs:

  • Chest pain when you breathe or cough
  • Cough that produces phlegm (mucus)
  • Fever, sweating, and shaking chills
  • Shortness of breath and fatigue, or mental confusion in older adults

Root Causes & Risk Factors

Common factors that trigger or aggravate this condition:

  • Bacteria: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia.
  • Viruses: Viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract, including influenza and RSV, can cause pneumonia.
  • Fungi: More common in people with chronic health problems or compromised immune systems.
