Can you get chlamydia from coughing?
A baby gets infected in the lungs with chlamydia trachomatis, the germ that causes the STD known as chlamydia, by being infected during vaginal birth. Adults do not get chlamydia trachomatis in their lungs. However, a different bacteria, Chlamydia pneumonia, is a common cause of bronchitis and pneumonia in children and adults. This infection is not sexually transmitted. A person infected with Chlamydia pneumonia has inflammation of the air passageways inside the lungs. Chlamydia pneumonia causes about 1 out of 10 cases of pneumonia in the US. The illness responds well to treatment with antibiotics.
Is walking numonia contagius?
Walking pneumonia, often caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is considered contagious, but it is typically less severe than regular pneumonia. It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. While it can be transmitted through close contact, the risk of contagion is lower compared to other respiratory infections like the flu. Practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, can help reduce the risk of transmission.
Is mycroplasma contagious?
Mycroplasma is a type of bacteria. Bacteria can be passed from person to person depending on the environment the bacteria needs to survive. So it's possible to pass mycroplasma from on person to another with physical contact.
Atypical pneumonia?
DefinitionAtypical pneumonia refers to pneumonia caused by certain bacteria, including Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae.This article provides a general overview of atypical pneumonia.See also:Legionella pneumonia (Legionnaire's disease)Mycoplasma pneumoniaAlternative NamesWalking pneumonia; Chlamydophila pneumoniaeCauses, incidence, and risk factorsAtypical pneumonia due to mycoplasma and chlamydophila bacteria usually cause mild forms of pneumonia, unlike other types of the disease that can come on more quickly with more severe early symptoms.Mycoplasma pneumonia often affects younger people and may be associated with anemia, certain types of rashes, and neurological conditions such as meningitis, myelitis, and encephalitis. For more information on this type of pneumonia, see: Mycoplasma pneumoniaPneumonia due to chlamydia-related bacteria occurs year round and accounts for 5 - 15% of all pneumonias. It is usually mild with a low death rate.Atypical pneumonia due to Legionella accounts for 2 - 6% of pneumonias and has a higher death rate. Older adults, smokers, and those with chronic illnesses and weakened immune systems are at higher risk for this type of pneumonia. Breathing in contaminated air (such as that from infected air conditioning systems) has also been linked to pneumonia due to Legionella. For more information on this type of pneumonia, see: Legionnaire's diseaseSymptomsChillsConfusion (especially with Legionella pneumonia)CoughDiarrhea (especially with Legionella pneumonia)FeverGeneral ill feelingHeadacheLoss of appetiteMuscle stiffness and achingRapid breathingRash (especially with mycoplasma pneumonia)Shortness of breathSigns and testsPersons with suspected pneumonia should have a complete medical evaluation, including a thorough physical exam and a chest x-ray -- especially since the physical exam may not always distinguish pneumonia from acute bronchitis or other respiratory infections.Depending on the severity of illness, additional studies may be done, include:Complete blood count (CBC)Blood culturesBlood tests for antibodies to specific bacteriaBronchoscopyOpen lung biopsy (only done in very serious illnesses when the diagnosis cannot be made from other sources)Sputum cultureUrine tests or a throat swab may also be done.TreatmentAntibiotics are used to treat atypical pneumonia. If you have a mild case, you may be able to take antibiotics by mouth. If you have severe atypical pneumonia, you will likely be admitted to a hospital where you will be given antibiotics through a vein (intravenously), as well as oxygen.Antibiotics used to treat atypical pneumonia include:AzithromycinClarithromycinErythromycinFluoroquinolones and their derivatives (such as levofloxacin)Tetracyclines (such as doxycycline)Expectations (prognosis)Most patients with pneumonia due to mycoplasma or chlamydophila do well with appropriate antibiotic therapy, although there is a small chance that the infection will return if antibiotics are used for fewer than 2 weeks.While atypical pneumonias are commonly associated with milder forms of pneumonia, pneumonia due to Legionella, in particular, can be quite severe, especially among the elderly and those with chronic diseases and weakened immune systems. It is associated with a higher death rate.ComplicationsHemolytic anemia (especially with mycoplasma pneumonia)Lung failureCalling your health care providerContact your health care provider if you develop fever, cough, or shortness of breath. There are numerous causes for these symptoms. The doctor will need to rule out pneumonia.PreventionThere is no known prevention for atypical pneumonia. No vaccine is available at this time for atypical pneumonia.ReferencesLimper AH. Overview of pneumonia. In: Goldman L, Ausiello D. Cecil Medicine.

What infectious diseases confers no protection from reinfection after exposure?
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that does not confer immunity after exposure. People who have been infected with hepatitis C can get re-infected with the virus.

How can yeasts can cause diseases in humans?
