It helped me! I had pneumonia with a very large empyema in my right lung in March 2011. It was undiagnosed and I got to hospital on the verge of death. I was put into a medically induced coma in a intesive care unit and remained there for 3 weeks. I knew nothing of this at the time, and when I awoke I was in a high dependency unit, where I stayed for another 8 weeks (with chest drains, which were uncomfortable), then had a decortication procedure under general anaesthesia, and nother 3 weeks in hospital. I survived (not writing this from beyond the grave...) and a year later am fit and healthy.

Can pneumonia be transmitted from person to person?
No, pneumonia can not be transmitted from person to person.
Can your Russian tortoise catch pneumonia from your guinea pig?
Pneumonia isn't contagious.
Can you catch pneumonia from another person?
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.
How do you get phenomia?

Can a kitten catch pneumonia by falling in water?
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!
Which gender gets pneumonia?
no pneumonia doesn't effect the gender because pneumonia can affect anyone because they could catch it.
Is coma can be detected after death?
No, death pretty much trumps coma...a person won't be in a coma after they die. You might have some evidence, in the form of bedsores and wasting, that the person had lingered in a coma if the coma persisted for some extended time prior to death. .

Unless whatever the reason was he went into a coma made him sterile, yes he can. Coma itself does not make him sterile. And pre-ejaculate is enough to make someone pregnant so a ejaculation is not even necessary.

What diseases can humans catch from other humans?
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.
