Pneumonia refers to an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. These air sacs, called alveoli, may fill with fluid or pus, causing a cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and its severity can range from mild to life-threatening.

This illness/condition is essential because pneumonia is important as it is a pervasive, serious, and preventable infectious disease that poses a significant threat to global public health. Its widespread impact and potential for severe complications make its prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment a top priority in medicine. At Nexus Specialty Clinic, we specialize in delivering high-quality Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine services that prioritize your health and well-being, offering expert diagnosis and management of pneumonia.
