an infection of the lungs, usually caused by bacteria or viruses.
A lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungus.
Inflammation of the lung tissues characterized by filling of the alveolar air spaces with exudate, inflammatory cells and blood protein (fibrin). Most cases are due to infection by bacteria or viruses, but some are caused by inhalation of chemicals or trauma to the chest wall or by infection by other less common microorganisms.
Inflammation of lung tissue (different from bronchitis).
An opportunistic infection caused by a fungus that is a major cause of death in patients with late-stage AIDS.
An inflammation of the lung which inhibits the transfer of oxygen to the blood. Sometimes the lung begins to fill with liquid. If both lungs are affected then the situation is one of double pneumonia.

Infection in the lung, usually caused by bacteria.
an inflammation of the lungs caused by viruses, germs, or physical and chemical agents.
Pneumonia is an infection that causes the air sacs in the lungs (called the alveoli), and the smaller bronchial tubes to become inflamed and fill with fluid. This makes it hard for the lungs to do their job, which is to get oxygen from the air into the bloodstream and then around the whole body. Pneumonia can be caused by viruses and bacteria but in most cases the precise cause is not discovered.
Inflamation of the lungs due to infection
Infection of the actual lung tissue (in comparison to the airways).
An acute or chronic inflammation of the lungs, caused by exposure to a wide variety of microbial pathogens or to toxic substances. Pneumonia is one of the five leading causes of death in the elderly population.

an inflammation or infection of the lungs.
A lung infection that can be caused by different types of germs, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Although different types of pneumonia tend to affect children in different age groups, pneumonia is most commonly caused by viruses, like RSV. Symptoms include: fever, chills, cough, rapid breathing, breathing that makes a "grunting" or wheezing sound, labored breathing that makes a rib muscles retract, vomiting, chest pain, abdominal pain, decreased activity, loss of appetite (in older children) or poor feeding (in infants,) and bluish or gray color of the lips and fingernails. Since an asthma parent is familiar with seeing many of those symptoms on a daily basis, pneumonia can sneak in unnoticed. (It's happened to Ed more than once.) It is important to consult your physican when your child is suffering from a respiratory virus.

Pneumonia is an illness of the lungs and respiratory system in which the alveoli (microscopic air-filled sacs of the lung responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere) become inflamed and flooded with fluid. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Pneumonia may also occur from chemical or physical injury to the lungs, or indirectly due to another medical illness, such as lung cancer or alcohol abuse.
Pneumonia is an illness which can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Pneumonia can occur in any animal with lungs, including mammals, birds, and reptiles.
