Emerging lung functions and vaccination against pneumonia

Jun Wang

An illness known as pneumonia causes inflammation of the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs could become clogged with fluid or pus (purulent material), which would result in a cough with pus or phlegm, a fever, chills and breathing difficulties. Pneumonia can be caused by a wide range of microbes, including bacteria, viruses and fungus. According to medicine, it is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is frequently but not always brought on by infections. Bacteria, viruses, fungus and parasites are only a few of the numerous causes of pneumonia. The interprofessional team’s role in the treatment of these patients is highlighted as this activity explores the cause, pathophysiology, presentation and diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia.
