👉 Peripneumony is a type of pneumonia that occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms invade the alveoli in the lungs, causing inflammation and scarring. It can be caused by various factors such as infection from viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasitic infections, and it's characterized by fever, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest pain. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to treat bacterial pneumonia while also managing other underlying causes like asthma or lung disease.
