Message: <blockquote data-quote="Professor" data-source="post: 42073" data-attributes="member: 202">But nothing mentioned in regard to the conditions treatment or recovery.As regards the claim "unexplained pneumonia" That shows a rigged study.Pneumonia has a wide range of causes not always immediately understood, a weak immune system is one indirect cause, various substances intake is another and so on and so always has been.<h3>What are the types of pneumonia?</h3>We categorize pneumonia by which pathogen (virus, bacteria or fungi) caused it and how you got it — community-acquired, hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated pneumonia.<h4>Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)</h4>When you get pneumonia outside of a healthcare facility, it’s called community-acquired pneumonia. Causes include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/24494-bacteria" target="_blank">Bacteria</a>: Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, also called pneumococcal disease, is the most common cause of CAP. Pneumococcal disease can also cause ear infections, sinus infections and meningitis. Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria causes atypical pneumonia, which usually has milder symptoms. Other bacteria that cause CAP include Haemophilus influenza, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Legionella (Legionnaires’ disease).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Viruses: Viruses that cause the common cold, the flu (influenza), COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can sometimes lead to pneumonia.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fungi (molds): Fungi, like Cryptococcus, Pneumocystis jirovecii and Coccidioides, are uncommon causes of pneumonia. People with compromised immune systems are most at risk of getting pneumonia from a fungus.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Protozoa: Rarely, protozoa like Toxoplasma cause pneumonia.</li> </ul><h4>Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)</h4>You can get hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) while in a hospital or healthcare facility for another illness or procedure. HAP is usually more serious than community-acquired pneumonia because it’s often caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This means HAP can make you sicker and be harder to treat.<h4>Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP)</h4>You can get HCAP while in a long-term care facility (such as a nursing home) or outpatient, extended-stay clinics. Like hospital-acquired pneumonia, it’s usually caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.<h4>Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)</h4>If you need to be on a respirator or breathing machine to help you breathe in the hospital (usually in the ICU), you’re at risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The same types of bacteria as community-acquired pneumonia, as well as the drug-resistant kinds that cause hospital-acquired pneumonia, cause VAP.<h4>Aspiration pneumonia</h4>Aspiration is when solid food, liquids, spit or vomit go down your trachea (windpipe) and into your lungs. If you can’t cough these up, your lungs can get infected.<h3>How can I tell if I have pneumonia versus the common cold or the flu?</h3>It can be difficult to tell the difference between the symptoms of a cold, the flu and pneumonia, and only a healthcare provider can diagnose you. As pneumonia can be life-threatening, it’s important to seek medical attention for serious symptoms that could be signs of pneumonia, such as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Congestion or chest pain.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Difficulty breathing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.88 degrees Celsius) or higher.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Coughing up yellow, green or bloody mucus or spit.</li> </ul><h3>Who is most at risk of getting pneumonia?</h3>You’re at an increased risk of pneumonia if you:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are over the age of 65 and or under the age of 2.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are living with a lung or heart condition. Examples include <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9358-cystic-fibrosis" target="_blank">cystic fibrosis</a>, <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/6424-asthma" target="_blank">asthma</a>, <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8709-chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease-copd" target="_blank">chronic obstructive pulmonary disease</a>, <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9370-emphysema" target="_blank">emphysema</a>, <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10959-idiopathic-pulmonary-fibrosis" target="_blank">pulmonary fibrosis</a> or <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/11863-sarcoidosis-overview" target="_blank">sarcoidosis</a>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are living with a neurological condition that makes swallowing difficult. Conditions like <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9170-dementia" target="_blank">dementia</a>, <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8525-parkinsons-disease-an-overview" target="_blank">Parkinson’s disease</a> and <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17519-stroke" target="_blank">stroke</a> increase your risk of aspiration pneumonia.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are in the hospital or at a long-term care facility.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Smoke.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are pregnant.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have a weakened immune system. You might have a weakened immune system if you’re on chemotherapy, are an organ transplant recipient, are living with <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4251-aids--hiv" target="_blank">HIV/AIDS</a> or are taking medications that suppress your immune system.</li> </ul><h4>How common is pneumonia?</h4>Anyone can get pneumonia. It’s a common illness, with millions of people diagnosed each year in the United States. About 55,000 people die each year of pneumonia in the U.S. It’s the most common cause of death in developing countries.[URL unfurl="true"]https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4471-pneumonia[/URL]It's no biggie, well explained, common, very treatable but many people will die with it as always have, jabs or no jabs.</blockquote>
