That depends on the type of pneumonia. Viral and "atypical" pneumonias (AKA "walking pneumonia") are generally infectious. These usually have lower fevers and are not as debilitating and feature runny noses and head congestion prominently.
Classic bacterial pneumonia often has chest pain, very high fevers and a cough that produces thick sputum. The person may have headaches and muscle aches and feel lousy all over but they generally do not have a runny nose or head congestion. This is generally not contagious.
