What is the difference between pneumonia and opportunistic pneumonia?

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, typically affecting healthy individuals. Opportunistic pneumonia, on the other hand, occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions, allowing normally harmless microorganisms to cause infection. This type of pneumonia is often associated with specific pathogens, such as Pneumocystis jirovecii in people with HIV/AIDS. Thus, the key difference lies in the health status of the patient and the organisms involved.
