Lung Infection
Lung infections, characterized by pus buildup and airway inflammation, affect breathing and can be severe, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and smokers. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
Lung infections encompass various conditions where the lungs are affected by pathogens, leading to inflammation and compromised respiratory function. Common causes include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, with symptoms ranging from mild cough and fever to severe respiratory distress. Pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis are prevalent lung infections, with pneumonia being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and microbiological tests. Treatment typically involves antimicrobial therapy tailored to the specific pathogen, along with supportive care. Prevention strategies include vaccination, good hygiene practices, and avoiding exposure to known respiratory pathogens.
