This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. "Pneumonia" encompasses many different diseases that involve infection or inflammation of the lungs. Pneumonia is caused by a variety of agents such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, or other organisms. Pneumonia can be categorized by causative organism, location in the lung, or where the patient contracted it. Some general symptoms of pneumonia are cough, fever, chest pain, and sputum production. Pneumonia remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.
