Pneumonia is medically classified as follows:

The classification method is based on the type of pathogen, the course of disease and pathological morphology:

1. Pathological morphological classification: Pneumonia is divided into lobar pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia and bronchiolitis.

2. According to the type of pathogen: including bacterial pneumonia, common bacteria include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, etc. Viral pneumonia, common viruses include respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, etc. There are also fungal pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydial pneumonia, etc.

Pneumonia in children has certain age characteristics. Usually infants are susceptible to bronchopneumonia and bronchiolitis caused by bacterial or viral infections, while school-age children have enhanced resistance and the ability to limit the lesions, so they mainly suffer from lobar pneumonia and mycoplasma pneumonia.
