What are the causes of skin infection?
Skin infections have a variety of causes. A significant number of skin infections are caused by parasites, such as small mites, which cause scabies. Fungi are also responsible for skin infections, like the inaptly-named ringworm, which is not caused by a worm at all. A number of infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, usually as a result of bacteria getting into already-existing rashes. It is important to differentiate skin infections from other skin complaints. A skin infection is a communicable disease, where as a skin complaint such as eczema cannot be transmitted.

How would the treatment of viral and bacterial pneumonia differ?
The supportive treatment for the symptoms would be mostly the same, but the medications used to directly fight the two different types of lung infections are different. Bacterial infections, including bacterial pneumonia, are treated with antibiotics. Since antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, the right medicines for the viral type of pneumonia might include anti-viral medications but usually not antibiotics. In both types of infections there can be a superimposed infection of the other type. For example, it is not uncommon for those with serious viral infections of the lungs to also end up with an opportunistic bacterial infection (i.e., one that might not be able to make you sick if it weren't for your already infirm condition), like bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, monitoring to identify any such secondary infections is also part of the treatment of both kinds of pneumonia to be sure that necessary medications are being utilized.
