Secondarily, yes. Molds can cause upper respiratory infections, which can develop into pneumonia. Also, depending on where you live, molds can harbor a deadly fungus (c. Gatti) that can cause pneumonia. The symptoms are similar to typical pneumonia, but it will not respond to antibiotics because it is not caused by a bacteria but a fungus, so different drugs must be used to treat it. If caught early enough, it can be cured. Most of the deaths that have occurred from it, however, have been due to misdiagnosis and treatment. Any kind of respiratory illness that does not respond to normal antibiotic treatment within the expected time frame for expected improvement should be investigated for C. Gatti.
