Pneumonia can be a bacterial, viral or ventilator acquired infection that can inflame the air sacs in one or both lungs. Community-acquired pneumonia is the most common type of pneumonia. THE INFECTION CAUSES THE LUNGS TO SWELL AND FILL WITH PUS OR FLUID LEADING TO DIFFICULTY BREATHING. PREVENTION INCLUDES VACCINATION, SMOKING CESSATION, AND CAREFUL HAND-WASHING. OFTEN MILD PNEUMONIA CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR THE FLU OR COMMON COLD. Those WHO ARE SEEKING LONG TERM TREATMENT IN HOSPITALS ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK FOR HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA DUE TO ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA. Fluid accumulation in the lungs can cause pleural effusion to occur (fluid in the tissue lining the lungs and chest). ABOUT 55,000 PEOPLE DIE EACH YEAR DUE TO PNEUMONIA IN THE US, AND IT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
