About Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is an acute infection of the lower respiratory tract that causes inflammation within the pulmonary parenchyma, specifically involving the alveolar spaces and distal airways.

The condition can affect individuals of any age, though infants, older adults, and immunocompromised persons face elevated risk of severe disease.

It develops when bacterial, viral, or fungal pathogens trigger an immune and inflammatory response, resulting in the accumulation of exudative fluid, pus, and cellular debris within the alveoli.

This inflammatory consolidation impairs gas exchange, characteristically manifesting with cough, dyspnea, fever, pleuritic chest pain, and localized crackles or bronchial breath sounds on examination.
