Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. It is most serious for infants, young children, people who are 65 or older and persons with a weakened immune system.
Health conditions like COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis make an individual more susceptible to the condition.
