Pneumonia is a disease of the lungs in which the delicate lung tissue becomes acutely infected. Thus, this is a serious inflammation that generally affects one or more lobes or areas of the lungs. The pulmonary alveoli,the tiny air sacs that forms the lung tissue, fill with inflammatory liquids and pus. This pose difficulty for oxygen to pass into blood, and thus, pneumonia is generally considered to be very serious. Several kinds of germs and viruses may result in such an infection. When the infection involves principally one lobe of the lung, the disease is term Lobar Pneumonia. But when it is scattered throughout the lung and involves the delicate tissue closely related to the bronchi, it is called Broncho pneumonia.
Pneumonia is a very serious infection because
1. A person's very life depends on the continuous functioning of the lungs
2. The toxemia is usually relatively great
In the diseases of the digestive organs a person may go without food for a while, thus giving the affected organs a rest from their usual functions during the process of healing. But the lungs must function continuously, day and night, whether they are involved with disease or not, in order that oxygen and carbon dioxide might be exchange to satisfy the need of the body cells.
