The 22 pages that link to Pneumonia, each with the reason it gives.

• HypoxemiaRelated: Inflamed, fluid-filled alveoli impair gas exchange and can cause hypoxemia.

• Pulmonary embolismCompared with: Both conditions can cause breathlessness and chest pain, but pneumonia is an infection rather than a vascular blockage.

• Pulmonary edemaCompared with: Pneumonia can resemble edema on imaging but arises from infection and inflammation.

• LungRelated: Fluid or inflammatory material in alveoli can impair oxygen exchange.

• Respiratory systemRelated: Inflamed, fluid-filled alveoli can reduce oxygen transfer into blood.

• Acute respiratory distress syndromeRelated: Severe lung infection can directly trigger the inflammation and injury of ARDS.

• BacteremiaRelated: Severe pneumonia can allow its causative bacteria to enter the bloodstream.

• Chest radiographyRelated: Air-space opacities can support diagnosis, while an early or subtle infection may be invisible.

• InfluenzaRelated: Influenza can lead to viral pneumonia or make secondary bacterial pneumonia more likely.

• Community-acquired pneumoniaNarrower topic: Community-acquired pneumonia is defined by its setting within the broader condition.

• Ventilation–perfusion mismatchRelated: Alveolar filling reduces ventilation while perfusion can continue.

• LinezolidRelated: Linezolid is used for certain hospital-acquired and community-acquired bacterial pneumonias.

• Interstitial lung diseaseCompared with: Pneumonia usually reflects infection, whereas ILD describes a broad set of often chronic tissue disorders.

• Child mortalityRelated: Pneumonia remains a major infectious cause of death among young children.

• AtelectasisCompared with: Atelectasis can resemble pneumonia on imaging, but collapse is not itself an infection.

• Pneumonic plagueNarrower topic: Pneumonic plague is a specific infectious cause of pneumonia.

• Respiratory syncytial virusRelated: RSV can spread into the lower respiratory tract and cause pneumonia.

• BronchitisCompared with: Pneumonia affects lung tissue and may require different evaluation and treatment.

• Respiratory diseaseBroader topic: It shows how infection in gas-exchanging tissue can impair oxygenation.

• René LaennecRelated: His descriptions of lung sounds and tissue changes helped distinguish pneumonic disease.

• Respiratory soundsRelated: Pneumonia can alter breath sounds and produce crackles over affected areas.

• Respiratory tract infectionBroader topic: It is a lung infection that can impair oxygen exchange.
