Inflammation is the body's attempt to destroy infection, and causes many of the other symptoms of bacterial pneumonia, including fever and chest pain. The lungs themselves do not have any pain fibers but are surrounded by a membrane called the pleura.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. People with pneumonia often complain about coughing, fever, shaking chills, and shortness of breath. 1  Your body's immune system usually keeps bacteria from infecting your lungs.2  In pneumonia, bacteria reproduce in your lungs, while your body tries to fight off the infection. The most common way you catch pneumonia is to breathe infected air droplets from someone who has pneumonia. 2  Another cause is an improperly cleaned air conditioner. 3  Yet another source of infection in your lungs is spread by an infection from somewhere else in your body, such as your kidney.
