Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection. Lobar pneumonia is an infection limited to one lobe of a lung, usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Elias Sandoval had lobar pneumonia as a child, resulting in scarring on his lungs. This scarring was later eradicated through influence of the Omicron spores. 

Following an outbreak of choriocytosis aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2269 was finally put under control by Doctor Leonard McCoy, he deemed the disease outbreak as being "no longer even as serious as pneumonia."
