Background: Pneumonia is a type of lung infection. It can cause breathing problems and other symptoms. In community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), it will get infected in a community setting. It doesn’t happen in a hospital, nursing home, or other healthcare center. Our lungs are part of your respiratory system. This system supplies fresh oxygen to your blood and removes carbon dioxide, a waste product. When you breathe in air through your nose and mouth, it reaches the tiny air sacs of the lung (alveoli) through a series of tubes. From here, oxygen flows into your blood. Carbon dioxide flows out into the alveoli. You then breathe it out. Many germs can grow inside your body and cause disease. Specific types of germs can cause lung infection and pneumonia when they invade. These germs can cause your respiratory system to work poorly. For example, oxygen may not be able to get into your blood as easily. That can cause shortness of breath. If your body can’t get enough oxygen to survive, pneumonia may lead to death.
