Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and other organisms. Common symptoms include fever, a productive cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and other pulmonary symptoms. Left untreated, pneumonia can cause serious and sometimes fatal complications, especially in young children and older adults. Treatment usually involves antibiotics, although other medications may be necessary. Vaccines are available to help prevent certain types of pneumonia and are recommended for individuals at high risk of infection. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for good outcomes.
