A vaccine STOPS you catching diseases and therefore being contagious. There is nothing in you that other people can catch!

Strep throat is caused by streptococcal bacteria.

No, only levofloxacin and moxifloxacin

Your CPAP machine should be cleaned every 1-2 weeks. Take a cloth, dampen it with small amount of water (only water). Wipe down all of the external surfaces.

If you have a humidifier attached to your machine, take out the water chamber and wipe down the inside of the machine. Empty the water chamber and thoroughly clean the surfaces on the inside with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Your tubing can be cleaned using a tube cleaning kit which can be purchased from many CPAP suppliers. However, minimally it is recommended to replace it every three months.

Your mask should be taken apart and cleaned with mild detergent every 1-2 weeks, then rinse and let air dry. Mask cleaning wipes can be purchased from CPAP suppliers as well. These are used daily to wipe down the mask pillows that cushion the face to remove the skin oils that have collected throughout the night. Your mask cushions should be replaced every 1-3 months depending on your type of mask and the insurance guidelines. The frames will usually need to be replaced every 6 mos to a year. Most insurances will cover a new mask every 6 mos.

Pneumonia is a medical illness (an infection of the lungs) caused by a variety of pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi). Pneumococcus (full name Streptococcus Pneumoniae) is a bacteria and a common cause of pneumonia. Therefore vaccination against Pneumococcus will prevent some, but not all pneumonias.

Atelectasis is the collapsing of a lungwhen there is an interference with the natural forces that promote lung expansion. Pneumonia is an inflammatory process and infection, usually involving fluid in the lungs.
Atelectasis is basically a collapsed lung.

Lobar pneumonia affects a large area of the one of the lobes of the lung. Bronchopneumonia is a form of pneumonia that also includes the inflammation of the bronchi.

Not directly. The flu shot will only prevent the specific type of viral influenza that the vaccine has been developed to prevent. Most pneumonia is due to bacterial infections and not viral, although viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia are both common secondary complications of influenza. So, in the sense of preventing the flu that might have a secondary complication of pneumonia, it could be somewhat effective but not assured. For better prevention of pneumonia, there is a pneumonia vaccine that can be received at the same time as the flu vaccine, which is often done in the elderly or those with underlying health problems, especially chronic lung or heart diseases.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by the gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Most pneumonia occurs when a breakdown in your body's natural defenses allows germs to invade and multiply within your lungs. To destroy the attacking organisms, white blood cells rapidly accumulate. Along with bacteria and fungi, they fill the air sacs within your lungs (alveoli)

Well I don't think that if fluid fills up in your lungs it can spread to someone else. So nope, it's not contagious.

It is not stated whether this type is and endospore producer. All I can find is that it's the cause of other types of certain types of pneumonia such as lobar pneumonia, and other types of infectious diseases such as meningitis, conjunctivitis, endocarditis, and many others.

Pneumonia is itself a serious illness, particularly if it is in both lungs, or in the elderly or infantile. However, it causes problems because it lowers the lungs' ability to provide oxygen to the bloodstream; less oxygen means less ability to do anything, and no oxygen means usually death within minutes.

The symptoms of clinical bronchopneumonia can include shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, cough, and chest pain while breathing in deeply. This condition is an infection that can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. It is an inflammation of the lung's air sacs.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

aspiration pneumonia

Your oxygen level should be between 90 and 100 anything lower is considered a risk. If the oxygen level drops below 85 they will usually place someone on oxygen, if the oxygen level continues to drop on oxygen then they will try a by-pap machine if it still continues to drop they will intubate the patient. Chances are if your o2 level is only 40 they will intubate you and your lung could have possibly collapsed.

pneumonia is found in your lungs but can be in other places and its a server illness!!

yes there is. you have to go to the hospital to get a vaccine

No, coughing helps prevent it.

Multifocal pneumonia means that there are patches of pneumonia throughout your lungs as opposed to lobar pneumonia which is contained in one spot.
