Pneumonia. Coloured frontal chest X-ray of the lungs of a patient with pneumonia affecting the right lung (left). Pneumonia causes inflammation of the lungs (bright purple). The tiny air-sacs (alveoli) in the lungs fill with fluid (exudate),which hinders breathing. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes,including infection with bacteria,viruses,fungi,or parasites,and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. If left untreated,pneumonia can lead to acute respiratory distress and blood poisoning (sepsis) | |
