Pneumonia is inflammation of the air sacs caused most often by an infection due to a bacteria or virus. Although pneumonia can happen in any person, people with underlying lung diseases are more susceptible and may pose unique challenges.
Common Symptoms due to Pneumonia:
A chest X-ray is usually needed to see the pneumonia. In addition to a physical examination, blood tests including blood cultures may be necessary. In some cases, if a person is not improving with standard treatment or if an unusual infection is suspected, a sample of lung secretions may be obtained by doing a procedure called the flexible bronchoscopy.
At Breathe Oklahoma, we will help you decide on a plan of treatment based on clinical information, the types of infection in your community, and types of infection you might be at risk for if you have underlying medical conditions.
