pneumonia is an infection of the lungs and can be caused by bacteria (treated with antibiotics) or a virus (symptoms resolve on their own after 3-21 days). it is often diagnosed by chest xray & treated aggressively.

Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the lung. Frequently, it is described as lung parenchyma/alveolar inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid. The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic—that is, unknown—when infectious causes have been excluded. Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.

it is a bacterial infection of the lung depending on the type of bacteria, it can cause an abscess to form in the lung which is basically a big ball of infection inside the lung pneumonia that is not treated can probably get into the blood and cause an infection to spread to other parts of your body. this is called sepsis, and you can die from it
