Pneumonia Spotlight

Pneumonia affects millions of people around the world each year. Most of the people affected by pneumonia in the United States are adults. Globally, pneumonia kills more children younger than 5 years old than any other any infectious disease, such as HIV infection, malaria, or tuberculosis.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. Many bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses can cause pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and pneumococcal disease are common bacterial causes of pneumonia. The most common viruses to cause pneumonia are COVID-19, human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection, human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) infection, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and rhinovirus infection.
