Commonly implicated agents include: rhinoviruses,coronaviruses, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus etc. Fungi may also cause Pneumonia. Usually it may occur in individuals with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, immunosuppressive drugs, or other medical problems. Fungal pneumonia is most often caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, blastomyces, Cryptococcus neoformans, Pneumocystis jiroveci, and Coccidioides immitis.Further, some parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Ascariasis also may lead to Pneumonia.
