Answers:
By Infection usually!. Pneumonia is caused by microorganisms, irritants and unknown causes!.

Types of Pneumonia:

Viral: Typically, a virus reaches the lungs when airborne droplets are inhaled through the mouth and nose!. Once in the lungs, the virus invades the cells lining the airways and alveoli!. This invasion often leads to cell death, either when the virus directly kills the cells, or through a type of cell controlled self-destruction called apoptosis!.

Bacterial: Bacteria typically enter the lung when airborne droplets are inhaled, but can also reach the lung through the bloodstream when there is an infection in another part of the body!.

Fungal: Fungal pneumonia is uncommon, but it may occur in individuals with immune system problems due to AIDS, immunosuppresive drugs, or other medical problems!.

Parasitic: A variety of parasites can affect the lungs!. These parasites typically enter the body through the skin or by being swallowed!. Once inside, they travel to the lungs, usually through the blood!. There, as in other cases of pneumonia, a combination of cellular destruction and immune response causes disruption of oxygen transportation!.

Idiopathic: Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) are a class as diffuse lung diseases!. In some types of IIP, e!.g!. some types of usual interstitial pneumonia, the cause, indeed, is unknown or idiopathic!. In some types of IIP the cause of the pneumonia is known, e!.g!. desquamative interstitial pneumonia is caused by smoking, and the name is a misnomer!.

Exposure to bacterial or viral pneumonia, frequently when one is stressed or immunosuppressed!. It can be spread airborne or by touching a contaminated surface and introducing the germs into your nose or mouth!. Less frequently, aspiration pneumonia occurs when stomach contents are regurgitated into the lungs!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
