Either from fluid build up or if pneumonia is bacterial in origin, your body tries to fight it off forming mucus. If the mucus builds up and isn't cleared out of your system, it begins to stick to the walls and lining of your lungs. This can cause "atelectasis" which is the collapsing of part of your lung............it's all down hill from there..... :(
