What You Need to Know About Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a lung infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. It can fill these sacs with fluid or pus. The illness is classified into different types, including bacterial, viral, and fungal pneumonia, each caused by various pathogens.
Identifying Causes and Risk Factors of Pneumonia
Common causes of pneumonia include bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses such as influenza, and fungi like Histoplasma. Public safety workers frequently enter environments where they may inhale harmful substances, increasing their risk. Other risk factors include a weakened immune system, chronic illnesses like asthma or diabetes, smoking, and exposure to pollutants or toxic chemicals.
