Some people get Pneumonia when they have just gotten over a cold. It sometimes starts off as a cold/flu and gets worse.
Here's a site that may help: in the related source link below.
Also, temperature has nothing to do with it. People with Asthma, COPD, smokers are more likely to get pneumonia. Pregnant women are also more susceptible to pneumonia. Also having the flu, plus getting a bacteria such as Klebsiella can cause pneumonia. Generally, those with weakened immune systems such as the elderly, the very young, and those on certain medications are susceptible.
THE SYMPTOMS that you get when you have pneumonia includes:
Cough, often producing mucus (sputum) from the lungs. Mucus may be rusty or green or tinged with blood.
You can catch any bacterial sickness by exchanging saliva.
no pneumonia doesn't effect the gender because pneumonia can affect anyone because they could catch it.
It is unlikely for a Russian tortoise to catch pneumonia from a guinea pig, as the causes of pneumonia for each species are different. However, it is always best to keep them in separate enclosures to prevent the potential spread of diseases.
Bacterial pneumonia may occur in both dogs and cats. It is highly contagious between dogs but cats cannot catch it from a dog.
Debris could get into your system, you could catch pneumonia, etc.
No. Pneumonia is a dysfunction of the lungs and is most commonly caused by infection, going outside while sweaty will not damage your lungs in this way.
Yes. Humans can do the same also; if the water is cold enough and they person/cat is not warmed right away, they could catch pneumonia. If the kitten was still warmed right after her fall, and she still has pneumonia, it's probably because kittens don't have the strong immune system mature cats have. Hope this helps!
This is entirely dependent on the cause of a person's pneumonia. If they have pneumonia caused by a virus or an infectious bacteria (such as the bacteria responsible for pneumonic plague), then those pathogens can be transmitted via respiratory droplets produced by the diseased person. If their pneumonia is not caused by an infectious pathogen (e.g., aspiration pneumonia), then you cannot catch it from them.
You get in a chance to catch pneumonia. After you do she'll never phone you. I'll never fall in love again.
A friend of mine her daughter was just diagnosed with leukemia friday. She is 6 years old. And has already started Chemo. Now she has Pneumonia. Could this worsen the Leukemia, and be fatal?
Walking pneumonia can be cuased by ignoring symptoms and not getting treatment in time.You can catch it from an infected person and pass it on to others.
Usually it starts as a normal URI (upper respitory infection) and without treatment or if antibiotics are not responding as well as they should, it can progress into pneumonia. That's how I have seen it, but there maybe other ways. ~Vet-tech
