Some people get Pneumonia when they have just gotten over a cold. It sometimes starts off as a cold/flu and gets worse.
Here's a site that may help: in the related source link below.
Also, temperature has nothing to do with it. People with Asthma, COPD, smokers are more likely to get pneumonia. Pregnant women are also more susceptible to pneumonia. Also having the flu, plus getting a bacteria such as Klebsiella can cause pneumonia. Generally, those with weakened immune systems such as the elderly, the very young, and those on certain medications are susceptible.
THE SYMPTOMS that you get when you have pneumonia includes:
Cough, often producing mucus (sputum) from the lungs. Mucus may be rusty or green or tinged with blood.
When you have a cold, mucus may build up in your lungs and damage the tiny hairs that clean your lungs. This clogs up your lungs and is called pneumonia. In other words you just get a cold and it simply settles into your lungs.
Walking pneumonia is a lay-man term for an infection of the lungs. The infection may be caused by a bacteria or virus. One catches 'walking pneumonia' by exposing oneself to the secretions (saliva) of a sick human. just like a cold
...Walking pneumonia from mycoplasma is most common, though, in older children and adults younger than 40. People who live and work in crowded places, such as schools, homeless shelters, and prisons have a higher risk of contracting the disease. That's because walking pneumonia is contagious. It's spread when someone comes in contact with droplets from the nose and throat of someone who has it.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by a bacteria, virus, or more rarely, a fungus. A person contracts pneumonia by being exposed to the pathogen.
One gets pneumonia, (the viral pneumonia,) when a virus is inhaled and settles in the lungs. This usually begins with a cold or sore throat.
Pneumonia isn't contagious.
You can catch any bacterial sickness by exchanging saliva.
no pneumonia doesn't effect the gender because pneumonia can affect anyone because they could catch it.
i think they can catch pneumonia but im not too sure xD Pneumonia is not in itself a contagious disease (either between humans or between animals and humans). However the thing which caused the pneumonia (normally a virus) can be contagious.
Bacterial pneumonia may occur in both dogs and cats. It is highly contagious between dogs but cats cannot catch it from a dog.
Debris could get into your system, you could catch pneumonia, etc.
No. Pneumonia is a dysfunction of the lungs and is most commonly caused by infection, going outside while sweaty will not damage your lungs in this way.
Yes. Humans can do the same also; if the water is cold enough and they person/cat is not warmed right away, they could catch pneumonia. If the kitten was still warmed right after her fall, and she still has pneumonia, it's probably because kittens don't have the strong immune system mature cats have. Hope this helps!
This is entirely dependent on the cause of a person's pneumonia. If they have pneumonia caused by a virus or an infectious bacteria (such as the bacteria responsible for pneumonic plague), then those pathogens can be transmitted via respiratory droplets produced by the diseased person. If their pneumonia is not caused by an infectious pathogen (e.g., aspiration pneumonia), then you cannot catch it from them.
You get in a chance to catch pneumonia. After you do she'll never phone you. I'll never fall in love again.
A friend of mine her daughter was just diagnosed with leukemia friday. She is 6 years old. And has already started Chemo. Now she has Pneumonia. Could this worsen the Leukemia, and be fatal?
Walking pneumonia can be cuased by ignoring symptoms and not getting treatment in time.You can catch it from an infected person and pass it on to others.
