    Community Acquired Pneumonia Pathophysiology

    Uploaded by

    Ahmad Syahir
    Community acquired pneumonia is caused by airborne infectious particles like bacteria or viruses entering the respiratory tract. The particles can invade the blood vessels in the lungs, causing inflammation and fluid leakage into the alveoli. This decreases the space for oxygen exchange and can fill the lungs. Underlying health conditions or behaviors like smoking can weaken the body's defenses and increase the risk of pneumonia. The infection and fluid in the lungs then leads to symptoms like coughing and difficulty breathing.
