Pneumonia in viral diseases classified elsewhere occurs when a virus, such as the flu virus, infects the lungs and causes inflammation. this inflammation can lead to the accumulation of fluid and pus in the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - pneumonia in viral diseases classified elsewhere
Viral pneumonia is caused by a virus that infects the lungs. it is spread through direct contact with an infected person, through airborne droplets, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. the virus enters the body and replicates in the respiratory tract, resulting in inflammation and fluid accumulation in the lungs. this results in difficulty breathing, coughing, and fever. in severe cases, the virus can cause severe damage to the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing, organ failure, and even death.
