Streptococcus Pneumonia is pneumonia that results from the strep infection and, yes, it is dangerous, just as any case of pneumonia. It is armed with bacteria and a virus, both, which doubles its seriousness. Bacteria can be killed normally with an antibiotic (unless a person has built up a tolerance to specific ones, rendering them ineffective). However, only anti-viral drugs work to slow down or weaken a virus and may not have any effect at all. This type of sickness is extremely serious due to this reason --- especially for the very young, the very old, and/or weak. This includes those persons who do not have a strong enough immune system to fight off both the bacterial and viral infection caused by Streptococcus Pneumonia for whatever reason.
I wouldn't say 'armed and dangerous' but however, it is very contagious!
I know that I can come within 10 feet of someone who has it, and get it.
