Description and Symptoms of Pneumonia INFORMATIVE
Tags: Pneumonia, inflammation of lungs, Lobar Pneumonia, Bronchopneumonia, symptoms
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, and other organisms. Pneumonia is usually triggered when a patient's defense system is weakened, most often by a simple viral upper respiratory tract infection or a case of influenza. Such infections or other triggers do not cause pneumonia directly but they alter the mucous blanket, thus encouraging bacterial growth. Other factors can also make specific people susceptible to bacterial growth and pneumonia.
