Role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [icam-1] of community acquired pneumonia in Mansoura university hospitals [MUHS]

Is an inflammation of the lung that is most often caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, or other organisms. Occasionally, inhaled chemicals that irritate the lungs can cause pneumonia, Community-acquired pneumonia [CAP] is defined as pneumonia not acquired in a hospital or a long-term care facility.
