with inflammatory cells and the lung becomes solid. The symptoms include those of any
infection (fever, malaise, headache, etc.,) together with cough and chest pain.
It is estimated that, worldwide, some 4 million children under five years of age, die each year
from acute respiratory infection (ARI) with the most of these deaths caused by pneumonia in
developing countries.
In 1989, when the program for Control Acute Respiratory Infections (CARI) of the Philippines
was launched, the death toll from pneumonia among children under the age of five years was
25,000. The latest statistics (2006) disclosed that almost 60 out of 1000 children under five
children suffer from pneumonia and five in every 11,000 die from the disease. The Department
of Health believes that if health workers used a standard method of detecting and managing
ARI’s specially pneumonia, infant deaths could be cut by half, saving 50,000 lives a year.
Pneumonia can be categorized by type of infiltrate: lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia.

2 Impaired Gas Exchange
The exchange in oxygenation and carbon dioxide gases is impeded due to the obstruction caused
by the accumulation of bronchial secretions in the alveoli. Oxygen cannot diffuse easily.

3 Hyperthermia
A person experiences hyperthermia due to the inflammatory process wherein the body tries to
compensate and adapt to the dse. condition. As a defense mechanism, the body produces host
inflammatory cells causing fever. Interluekin-1 function as a pyrogens that acts on the
hypothalamus. 1L-1 act as a hormone where it is carried by the inflammation site of production
to the CNS, where it acts directly on the hypothalamic thermal control center, thus elevating the
thermal set point.
