	Pneumonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pneumonia may occur in people of all ages, although young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients are especially at risk.
		Symptoms of pneumonia commonly include shortness of breath; coughing that produces greenish or yellow sputum; a high fever (that may be accompanied with sweating, chills, and rigors [shaking]); sharp or stabbing chest pain, worsened by deep breaths or coughs (pleuritic chest pain); and rapid, shallow breathing that is often painful.
		In nosocomial pneumonia (pneumonia that was acquired while the patient was in hospital for other treatment) and in immunocompromised patients, a clear diagnosis of pneumonia can be difficult; thus, a chest CT scan and/or other tests are often required to rule out causes such as pulmonary embolism).

	Section N1: Pneumonia and Pleurisy
		Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung, usually caused by infection.
		Pneumonia can be caused by almost any type of organism, although a few specific viruses and bacteria are responsible for most cases, and can occur at any age.
		Pneumonia is caused by microscopic and submicroscopic organisms that infect the lung tissue.

		Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation in the lung tissue.
		Pneumonia is usually contracted by breathing in the microorganisms which cause the infection.
		Pneumonia has a number of very definite symptoms, none of which should be ignored, as it is very important to seek medical advice as soon as possible.

		The initial chemical burn is followed by an inflammatory cellular reaction fueled by the release of potent cytokines, eg, tumor necrosis factor–alpha and interleukin-8.
		In anaerobic pneumonia, the pathogenesis is related to the large volume of aspirated anaerobes (eg, as in persons with periodontal disease) and to host factors (eg, as in alcoholism) that suppress cough, mucociliary clearance, and phagocytic efficiency.
		Chemical pneumonia: Treatment should include maintenance of airways and clearance of secretions with tracheal suctioning, oxygen supplementation, mechanical ventilation if the patient is unable to maintain adequate oxygenation, early use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and administration of intravenous fluids.
