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.
Yes, cold viruses (of which there are many) are spread primarily through sneezing and touching. If Andrew has a cold and wipes his nose, then touches a table and Jake then touches the same table and wipes his eyes, nose, licks the finger etc then a cold virus will be able to enter Jake's body and eventually give Jake a cold.
can you catch pleurisy of someone who got pleurisy
pneumonia is not actually contagious .
Viral Pneumonia is transmitted from one person to another. It an acute infection and it is an airborne transmitted virus.
Same way you can catch a cold : Having contact with a person that has pneumonia by touching, kissing, eating or drinking after them etc. You can also catch it if your not covered in the winter.
No, pneumonia can not be transmitted from person to person.
Pneumonia isn't contagious.
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.
yes
no
You can catch any bacterial sickness by exchanging saliva.

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!
Pneumonia is essentially a communicable disease. As it can be transferred from one person to another.
infectious means a disease that you can catch from the air, surface, or another person. if you can catch the disease from another person it is also called contagious.
