Pneumonia – inflammation of the lungs

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs, a health condition that indicates emergency treatment as it can have fatal consequences especially in the younger population.
The lungs are “spongy” organs filled with air, whose most important function is the exchange of gases, that is, the distribution of oxygen from the atmosphere to the bloodstream and the release of carbon dioxide from the blood into the atmosphere. Alveoli play a key role in the gas exchange process – small bubble-like structures that are filled with air in a healthy individual. In the case of lung inflammation, the alveoli are filled with pus and fluid, which compromises the gas exchange process.
