And they provide everything you need to know about pneumonia, according to the Mayo Clinic medical site.
Symptoms of pneumonia
The most common symptom of pneumonia is shortness of breath, which may be accompanied by a dry cough.
If pneumonia is not detected or left untreated, you may gradually develop chronic pneumonia that can cause scarring (fibrosis) in the lungs.
Signs and symptoms of chronic pneumonia
shortness of breath.
cough.
Exhaustion.
Anorexia.
Unintended weight loss.
Causes of pneumonia
Pneumonia occurs when an irritant substance causes inflammation in the tiny air sacs in the lungs, and the inflammation makes it difficult for oxygen to pass through the alveoli into the bloodstream.
Several irritants are associated with pneumonia and range from airborne fungi to chemotherapy drugs, but the main substance causing inflammation remains unknown to most people.
Medicines also have a causative factor in the disease. Many drugs can cause pneumonia, including antibiotics, many types of chemotherapy and drugs that maintain a regular heartbeat, and an overdose of aspirin can cause pneumonia.
In addition, repeated exposure to some fungi and bacteria may cause inflammation in the lungs. Certain types of fungi associated with pneumonia have a pseudonym, such as “farmer’s lung” or “hot tub lung”.
Birds have been involved in infection, as exposure to feathers or bird feces is a common cause of pneumonia.
People who undergo radiation therapy to the chest may develop pneumonia, such as that done for breast or lung cancer, and pneumonia can develop after full-body radiation therapy, which is necessary to prepare a person for a bone marrow transplant.
Risk factors
Occupations or hobbies
Certain occupations and hobbies carry a high risk of developing pneumonia, including:
Farming
Many types of agricultural operations expose workers to haze from mists and pesticides. Inhalation of airborne particles from rotting straw is one of the most common causes of occupational pneumonia, and rotting particles can also be inhaled during the harvest of grain and hay.
Dealing with birds
Poultry workers and people who keep or fatten pigeons are often exposed to droppings, feathers, and other substances that can cause pneumonia.
Hot tubs and humidifiers
Cases of mold in hot tubs may lead to pneumonia. Because the effect of the bubbles creates a mist that can be inhaled, home humidifiers are another common storage for mold.
Cancer treatment
Some chemotherapy drugs can cause pneumonia, radiation therapy may affect the lungs, and combining the two increases the risk of developing irreversible lung disease.
Complications of pneumonia
Pneumonia that goes away without notice or without treatment can cause irreversible lung damage.
In normal lungs, the alveoli in the lungs dilate and relax with each breath, and chronic inflammation that affects the tissue lining each air vesicle can lead to fibrosis and become less elastic, where it becomes stiff like a dry sponge, and this condition is called pulmonary fibrosis, in severe cases Pulmonary fibrosis can cause heart failure, respiratory failure and death.
