Detailed explanation-1: -Even with treatment, some people with pneumonia, especially those in high-risk groups, may experience complications, including: Bacteria in the bloodstream (bacteremia). Bacteria that enter the bloodstream from your lungs can spread the infection to other organs, potentially causing organ failure. Difficulty breathing.
Detailed explanation-2: -1. Pleural Effusion & Respiratory Failure. COPD, breathing can become increasingly difficult with a pneumonia infection. This is particularly true if fluid accumulates around the lungs, building up in the layers of surrounding tissue and the chest cavity-a complication called pleural effusion.
Detailed explanation-3: -In summary, septic shock is a frequent complication of pneumococcal pneumonia and causes high morbidity and mortality. Current tobacco smoking, chronic corticosteroid treatment and infection caused by S pneumoniae serotype 3 are independent risk factors for this serious complication.
