Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a problem related with lungs. It is a lung infection that can happen in one or both the lungs. Pneumonia leads to inflammation in the air sacs called alveoli further causing the formation of fluid or puss causing difficulty in breathing. The exact cause of pneumonia is still not known. Hereditary factors are believed to play a role in the development of the condition. Moreover, Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia often develops in various diseases, including HIV, diseases resulting from reactions to certain medications, diseases which affect the body’s structural tissues (connective tissue disorders) and several other conditions.

The chances of risk increases when the person is on ventilator for respiratory support. This can be caused in places such as outpatient clinics, nursing homes and kidney dialysis.

2. Bronchopneumonia (scattered, patchy infiltrates of inflammation in the air sacs throughout the lungs). It is more diffuse than lobar pneumonia.
3. Lipoid pneumonia (caused by accumulation of fats in the airspace mainly caused due to aspiration of oils or airway obstruction.
