Yes. Walking pneumonia is caused by a bacteria-like pathogen, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which can cause all sorts of other miserable flu-like conditions. It can have a long gestation period, so it might be difficult to tell where it came from. It causes damage to the lungs that can take a long time to heal completley, and can leave the sufferer with less than normal energy for quite a long time. It does eventually heal completely, so ignore it the best you can.
