The immune system defends against pneumonia by recognizing and targeting the pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, that cause the infection. White blood cells, including macrophages and neutrophils, are activated to engulf and destroy these invaders. Additionally, antibodies are produced to neutralize pathogens and mark them for destruction. This coordinated response helps to clear the infection and restore lung function.

How does making the immune system stronger lengthen the life of a person with AIDS?
IF the immune system is strengthened the person is less susceptible to obtaining infections like pneumonia which can cause death if they don't have a fully functioning immune system

Can you get pneumonia by piercing your nose at home?
Piercing your nose yourself leaves you with a huge risk of infection. If you get even a slight infection, your immune system will be compromised and you'd have an increased chance of getting pneumonia. But you won't get pneumonia directly from piercing.
How do the antigens enter and multiply in pneumonia?
In pneumonia, antigens, typically bacteria or viruses, enter the lungs through inhalation of respiratory droplets or aspiration of infected secretions. Once in the pulmonary alveoli, these pathogens evade the host's immune response and begin to multiply, leading to inflammation and the characteristic symptoms of pneumonia. The immune system responds by recruiting immune cells to the site of infection, which can further contribute to lung damage and impaired gas exchange. This interplay between the pathogens and the immune response is critical in the progression of pneumonia.
Why is a person with AIDS may also have pneumonia?
AIDS stands for Autio Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This means that the disease attacks and weakens the human immune system. This system is responsible for keeping you healthy by fighting off infections and viruses, among many other things, that are contantly attacking the human body.In a healthy person, the immune system attacks and destroys viruses and such, but in a person with AIDS the immune system is too weak or almost non-existent and as a result, these viruses take hold; such as pneumonia. Actually, people with AIDS usually end up dying from such relatively simple things like pneumonia and not actually the disease (AIDS) itself.
Long term effects of pneumonia?
Overtime Pneumonia may trigger the immune system to react and in turn inflame or damage the arteries in the heart, this may lead to heart attacks and or strokes.
