About Lung Infections

A lung infection occurs when harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, invade the lungs, leading to inflammation and respiratory issues. Common types include pneumonia, which inflames the air sacs in the lungs, and bronchitis, which affects the bronchial tubes. Symptoms often include a persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, and fatigue. Lung infections can be serious, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for effective recovery. Preventive measures, such as vaccinations and good hygiene practices, can help reduce the risk of lung infections.
