Pneumonia is a common disease that occurs in all age groups. It is a leading cause of death among the young, the old, and the chronically ill.[8] Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.

Is pneumonia harmful?

Lung tissue is elastic and expands and constricts when breathing. During this process gases are exchanged. Pneumonia causes inflammation of delicate lung tissue and consolidation or solidification of the tissue. The small and very delicate aveoli (where oxygen is exchanged) become compromised and cannot exchange oxygen and feed the body. The body and it's tissues are starved of the nutrient oxygen. When organs are deprived of oxygen, they begin to die and eventually do die if the pneumonia is not resolved. Sometimes the pneumonia cannot be resolved because it overwhelms the body, or is antibiotic resistant, or complications develop in other organs. Pneumonia if isn't cured earlier can cause death. It is an infection. As microorganisms intrude the body, they produce a lot of harmful substances and it can be fatal. The human body reacts also (fever for example). This reaction can also be harmful to.
