    The document provides a simple schematic diagram of pneumonia. It outlines the process by which exposure to a pathogen leads to proliferation of microorganisms in the lungs, causing inflammation. Key steps include invasion into the lungs through openings in the respiratory tract, inflammation, tissue injury, immune response recruitment of leukocytes, and eventual respiratory insufficiency. Common signs and symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain with breathing.
