    Martina, pneumonia is all that you say and more!

    Pneumonia involves inflammation of one or both lungs, with dense areas of lung inflammation. Pneumonia is frequently but not always due to infection. Sometimes you can catch it like a cold. The infection may be bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic. Breathing some chemicals can also cause pneumonia. Symptoms may include fever, chills, cough with sputum production, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Pneumonia is suggested by the symptoms and confirmed by chest X-ray testing. Treatment includes antibiotics.
