Neumonía  infección pulmonar  neumonía bacteriana  neumonía viral  neumonía causada por hongos  tratamientos de la neumonía 

La mayoría de las veces, el cuerpo filtra los gérmenes del aire que respira. A veces, los gérmenes, como las bacterias, los virus o los hongos; ingresan a los pulmones y causan infecciones. Cuando estos gérmenes ingresan en los pulmones, el sistema inmunológico, que es la defensa natural del cuerpo contra los gérmenes, entra en acción. Las células inmunes atacan a los gérmenes y pueden causar una inflamación en los sacos de aire o alvéolos. La inflamación puede hacer que los sacos de aire se llenen de líquido y de pus y puede provocar los síntomas de la neumonía.
