Pneumonia

What is Pneumonia?

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing symptoms such as cough, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can range from mild to severe and can affect people of all ages, but it is most dangerous in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
