That depends on the type of pneumonia. Viral and "atypical" pneumonias (AKA "walking pneumonia") are generally infectious. These usually have lower fevers and are not as debilitating and feature runny noses and head congestion prominently.
Classic bacterial pneumonia often has chest pain, very high fevers and a cough that produces thick sputum. The person may have headaches and muscle aches and feel lousy all over but they generally do not have a runny nose or head congestion. This is generally not contagious.
What else can I help you with?
Can pneumonia be transmitted from person to person?
No, pneumonia can not be transmitted from person to person.
How viral pneumonia is transmitted?
Viral Pneumonia is transmitted from one person to another. It an acute infection and it is an airborne transmitted virus.
What state did pneumonia come from?
A disease does not come from a state, but is transmitted by people to people.
What std can cause early infant pneumonia and conjunctivitis?
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that can cause pneumonia or conjunctivitis in a baby born to a mother with the infection.
Can tuberculosis transmitted with kissing?
No. It is not sexually transmitted but it can be transmitted airborne like coughing or sneezing.No, TB is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is airborne transmitted so if someone has active TB (in the lungs), stay away from them.TB is not a STD.
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.
How fast does pnuemonia spread?
Pneumonia itself is not contagious; rather, it is often caused by infections that can spread, such as viruses or bacteria. For example, viral pneumonia can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Bacterial pneumonia can also be transmitted in similar ways, but not everyone who is exposed will develop pneumonia. The speed of transmission can vary based on the pathogen and the individual's health.
Is lingular pneumonia contagious?
Lingular pneumonia itself is not contagious, as it refers to a specific type of pneumonia affecting the lingula lobe of the left lung, often caused by infections like bacteria or viruses. However, the underlying pathogens that cause pneumonia, such as influenza or certain bacteria, can be contagious. Therefore, while the pneumonia condition is not spreadable, the infections that lead to it can be transmitted from person to person. It's important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of these infectious agents.
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.
What vector carry pneumonia?
Pneumonia is primarily caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi rather than vectors like insects. However, certain respiratory infections can be transmitted by droplets from person to person. In specific cases, zoonotic pneumonia can occur, where animals serve as reservoirs for pathogens, but these are not typically associated with traditional vector organisms like mosquitoes or ticks. Therefore, vectors do not directly carry pneumonia; instead, the disease is spread through direct contact or airborne transmission.
What is the name of germ of pneumonia?
Pneumonia is a general term, not a specific disease. There is viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and a fungal pneumonia, among others.
Is azithromycin soluble in water?
Azithromycin is practically insoluble in water. However, it is freely soluble in ethanol and in methylene chloride. Azithromycin is used to treat bacterial infections like pneumonia and sexually transmitted disease.
