Infective Lung Diseases
1. Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs. It is usually caused by an infection of the lung tissue by one of many different microorganisms. It is more common in older or very young people. Pneumonia can occur at any time of the year, but it is more common in the autumn and winter. Most types of pneumonia can be effectively treated with antibiotics, but it can be a serious illness, especially in frail older people, young people, and those already ill or immunocompromised.
