What is a significant difference between viral pneumonia and bacteria pneumonia?
A significant difference between viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia lies in their causes and treatment approaches. Viral pneumonia is caused by viruses, such as influenza or respiratory syncytial virus, and typically resolves on its own without antibiotics, focusing instead on supportive care. In contrast, bacterial pneumonia is caused by bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, and often requires antibiotic treatment. Additionally, bacterial pneumonia can lead to more severe complications if left untreated compared to viral pneumonia.
