    1. Pneumonia is caused by a virulent microorganism such as Streptococcus pneumoniae entering the nose and passing through the larynx, pharynx, and trachea to infect the airways and lung parenchyma. 2. Predisposing factors include an immature immune system, small airways, young age, male gender, race, and family history. 3. The microorganism lodges in the bronchioles, causing necrosis of bronchial tissues and narrowing of the air passages, resulting in dyspnea, tachypnea, impaired gas exchange, pleural effusion, and alveolar collapse.
