Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading to inflammation and fluid accumulation in the alveoli, which impairs breathing. Risk factors include smoking, age, and pre-existing health conditions, while types of pneumonia can be classified as community-acquired, hospital-acquired, or ventilator-associated. Diagnosis involves clinical symptoms and imaging, with treatment options varying based on the causative agent.
