O silicosis
O byssinosis

Answer 1

The answer is bacterial pneumonia :)

Answer 2

Bacterial Pneumonia

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria causing the Streptococcus has entered the lungs causing pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) and therefore is a bacterial pneumonia.

Streptococcus is a Gram-positive, spherical bacteria therefore giving the diagnosis of the dyspnea that the patient is experiencing a bacterial pneumonia.
