Pneumonia is itself a serious illness, particularly if it is in both lungs, or in the elderly or infantile. However, it causes problems because it lowers the lungs' ability to provide oxygen to the bloodstream; less oxygen means less ability to do anything, and no oxygen means usually death within minutes.
