Why is Pneumonia so dangerous? | Dr. Kripesh Ranjan Sharma | Apollo Hospitals Guwahati

Pneumonia is a respiratory infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing symptoms such as cough with phlegm, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can range in severity from mild to life-threatening and may be more severe in certain populations, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
