Pneumonia is an infection affecting the lung air sacs, known as alveoli. In individuals with pneumonia, these alveoli become congested with pus and fluid, resulting in discomfort during breathing and a diminished intake of oxygen. The condition can be attributed to various infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Fungal pneumonia, also known as fungal lung infection or fungal respiratory disease, is a respiratory condition caused by various types of fungi. While bacterial and viral pneumonia are more common, fungal pneumonia can be a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems.
