Pneumonia is due to infections caused by bacteria or viruses and less commonly by fungi and parasites. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia.

Histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, aspergillosis and cryptococcosis are fungal infections that can lead to fungal pneumonia.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
