Pneumonia is an infection of the lower respiratory tract, involving the pulmonary parenchyma.
*Viruses, fungi, and bacteria can cause pneumonia. The lungs reaction to these foreign microbes is to cause an inflammatory response causing the bronchioles and alveoli to fill with fluid and become solid.
*Pneumonia ranges in severity from mild and uncomplicated as often is the case with atypical infections, to fulminant and life-threatening, occurring more frequency in hospital-acquired pneumonia.
*It is a common disease and a potentially serious infectious disease with considerable morbidity and mortality.
*Pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death and the only infectious disease in the top ten causes of death in the United States.
*Pneumonia can be prevented by immunization, adequate nutrition, and by addressing environmental factors.
