- 1. An infection that affects one or both lungs. It causes the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs to fill up with fluid or pus. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
- 2. A lung condition that causes shortness of breath. Over time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture — creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones. This reduces the surface area of the lungs and, in turn, the amount of oxygen that reaches your bloodstream.
- 3. A condition that develops when the airways in the lungs, called bronchial tubes, become inflamed and cause coughing, often with mucus production.
- 4. Damage to the walls of the bronchial tubes with loss of the smooth muscle and loss of elasticity of segments of the bronchi.
- 6. An infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
