Why does acute pneumonia occur?

With the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the mortality rate of acute pneumonia in my country has been significantly reduced in recent years. This type of acute pneumonia is most likely to occur in children, so family members should pay attention to it. The main causes of the disease are physical and chemical (such as radiation, toxic gas, poisons, drugs, etc.) or infectious. I hope that the specific inducing factors will be clearer through the introduction below.

1. Decreased immunity. When the human body's immunity is reduced, such as due to a cold, fatigue, long-term smoking, etc., pneumococcus can take the opportunity to invade the human body and cause pneumonia, etc.;

2. Bacteria. Many bacteria can cause pneumonia.

3. Viruses, such as influenza viruses, can cause pneumonia;

4. Fungi, such as Candida albicans, can cause pneumonia;

5. Atypical pathogens;

6. Physical and chemical factors: radiation, gastric acid inhalation, drugs and other physical and chemical factors can cause pneumonia.

Causes of acute pneumonia are:

⑴Upper respiratory tract viral infection: Viral infection can destroy the integrity of the bronchial mucosa, affect mucus-ciliary activity, and thus lead to bacterial infection.

⑵Sudden injury, hunger, fatigue, drunkenness, etc., weaken the body's resistance, reduce cell phagocytosis, weaken the immune function, and lead to disease.

⑶ Coma, overdose of anesthesia or sedatives may easily lead to foreign body inhalation and bacterial infection.

⑷ Having some underlying diseases, such as immunodeficiency, diabetes, renal failure, etc., are also susceptible factors.

Through the above introduction, you have also understood the causes of acute pneumonia. Pneumonia patients often experience chest tightness, cough with sputum, and some also experience chills, high fever, and difficulty breathing, so everyone should pay more attention to it. If you experience these symptoms in your daily life, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, find out the cause, maintain a good attitude, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
