Pneumonia Pneumonia is an infection of one or both of the lungs. It's caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or chemical irritants. Pneumonia is a serious infection or inflammation in which the air sacs fill with pus and other liquid.Lobar pneumonia affects one or more sections (lobes) of the lungs.acterial pneumonia. This type is caused by various bacteria, the most common of which is streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). It usually occurs when the body is weakened in some way, such as by illness, malnutrition, old age, or impaired immunity, and the bacteria are able to work their way into the lungs.

pneumonia an acute inflammation of the lungs, often caused by inhaled pneumococci of the species Streptococcus pneumoniae. The alveoli and bronchioles of the lungs become plugged with a fibrous exudate. Pneumonia may also be caused by other bacteria, as well as by viruses, rickettsiae, and fungi. Kinds of pneumonia are aspiration pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, lobar pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, and viral pneumonia.

Pneumococcal Disease Fact Sheet for the Media Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. When these bacteria invade the lungs, they can cause pneumonia. They can also invade the bloodstream, causing bacteremia, and/or invade the tissues and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord, causing meningitis.

Pneumonia In people with compromised immune systems, the organisms that cause pneumonia are different than those seen in the other types of pneumonia. Symptoms. Most types of pneumonia cause fever, cough with sputum (coughed-up mucus), shortness of breath and fatigue. In older patients, fatigue or confusion can be the only or most noticeable symptom. In viral pneumonia, a dry cough without sputum is more common. Diagnosis. Your doctor first will ask about your symptoms.

Pneumococcal Disease ( Streptococcus pneumoniae) Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria (“pneumococcus”). These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including: pneumonia (infection of the lungs), ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis (infection of the covering around the brain and spinal cord), and bacteremia (blood stream infection). Pneumococcus bacteria are spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact with an infected person.

chlamydial pneumonia Chlamydia pneumoniae usually causes a type of relatively mild walking pneumonia. Patients experience fever and cough. This type of pneumonia is called a community-acquired pneumonia because it is easily passed from one member of the community to another.hlamydial pneumonia refers to one of several types of pneumonia that can be caused by various types of the bacteria known as Chlamydia. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. The air sacs (alveoli) and/or the tissues of the lungs become swollen, and the alveoli may fill with pus or fluid.
