When Pneumonia Occurs
Common presentations
Types of Pneumonia
Bacterial Pneumonia
Caused by various bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus pneumoniae. Often occurs after a viral respiratory infection.
Viral Pneumonia
Caused by respiratory viruses such as influenza, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2. Generally milder but can be severe.
Mycoplasma Pneumonia
Caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a smaller bacterium without a cell wall. Often called 'walking pneumonia'.
Fungal Pneumonia
Rare, usually occurs in people with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions.
Aspiration Pneumonia
Caused by inhaling food, drink, or vomit into the lungs, often due to impaired gag reflex.
What's Causing Your Pneumonia
Identifying the underlying causes of pneumonia allows us to target treatment effectively for lasting results.
Bacterial Infection
HighBacteria reach the lungs and multiply, triggering a strong immune response that fills alveoli with fluid and pus.
Viral Infection
HighRespiratory viruses infect lung tissue directly or trigger secondary bacterial infection.
Fungal Infection
Low (except in high-risk groups)Fungal spores are inhaled and can cause infection, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
Aspiration
VariableInhaling foreign material into the lungs causes chemical injury and secondary infection.
Hospital-Acquired Infection
Variable (hospital setting)Hospital bacteria (often antibiotic-resistant) cause pneumonia in hospitalized patients.
How We Assess Causes
Our comprehensive evaluation combines detailed health history, advanced diagnostic testing, and constitutional assessment to identify the unique combination of factors contributing to your pneumonia.
Important Note
The probabilities shown are based on clinical research and our patient population. Your individual case may have different contributing factors. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine your specific root causes.
