  Bacteria and viruses are the primary causes of
  pneumonia. When a person breathes pneumonia-
  causing germs into his lungs and his body's
  immune system cannot otherwise prevent entry,
  the organisms settle in small air sacs called
  alveoli and continue multiplying. As the body
  sends white blood cells to attack the infection,
  the sacs become filed with fluid and pus -
  causing pneumonia.- symptoms commonly include:
  High fever
  Chills
  Shortness of breath
  Increased breathing rate
