How to Recognize Pneumonia Symptoms?
Pneumonia is an infection in which the sufferer’s lungs become inflamed. Pneumonia is most often caused by a virus or bacteria. It is sometimes caused by inhalation of chemical fumes or vomit. In every type of pneumonia, the inflamed lungs are filled with mucous and other liquids that prevent a person from breathing normally. Irregular breathing blocks oxygen from reaching blood and cells. If untreated, pneumonia may be fatal.
SymptomsPneumatic symptoms sometimes occur during or after a person suffers from flu, cold, or other respiratory infections. The following are general symptoms of pneumonia:
--A mucus-filled cough
--Chills and shaking
--Fever
--Pain in the chest, especially while coughing and inhaling deeply
--Vomiting and nausea
--Diarrhea
--Rapid heartbeat
--Fatigue, malaise, lethargy
--Shortness of breath
The above symptoms may be milder in some patients than in others. Walking pneumonia is often the term used to describe patients whose symptoms are less severe than others. The symptoms of pneumonia are similar to other respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis, tuberculosis, and COPD.
Pneumonia is often harder to diagnose in infants and the elderly because their symptoms may be less severe. They may have a dry cough rather than a mucus-filled one. Older adults and infants may not have a fever. A major sign of pneumonia in the elderly is delirium, which means that the person may show signs of confusion. Sometimes pneumonia develops in older people as a result of a severe lung infection or disease. Pneumatic symptoms in children may include lethargy, fever, or loss of appetite.
DiagnosisThose who exhibit the above symptoms should contact their doctor. There are several tests that physicians use to diagnose pneumonia, including a chest X-ray and/or physical exam. The chest X-ray is performed so that the physician can examine the patient’s lungs, though the X-ray may be inconclusive if performed during the early stages of illness. In many cases, the X-ray may reveal the cause of the pneumonia or alert the physician about other illnesses, like COPD or a collapsed lung. Some physicians may perform a urine test or mucus sample exam. Other tests or exams may be administered as the professional sees fit.

It is an airborne bacteria that enters the body through the lungs. Most people who contract TB have no symptoms, only about 10% of infected people actually get symptoms. Of the people who get no symptoms, the bacteria can lie dormant in the body for years; these people may get symptoms if their immune systems become weakened due to other illnesses such as HIV.
TB can destroy the tissues of the lungs and other organs if not treated with antibiotics, it can often be fatal. There is now a new strain of TB that is drug resistant that appears in large cities from time-to-time.

Okita Souji was the captain of the first squad in the Shinsengumi, a Japanese special armed "police" force that fought in the Meiji war on the side of the shogunate. They weren't really police, but were known to try to keep things peaceful, so they are acknowledged as such. His birth name was Okita Soujiro (Okita being the family name) but he changed it to Souji. He was very good with children (who all still called him Soujiro so as to avoid them knowing who he really was, which would be very dangerous for him if the Isshin Shi Shi found out. He was also apparently very handsome. He was the most skilled swordsman in the Shinsengumi, and was a child prodigy that showed exceptional skill from the time he first began at Kondou's Dojo when he was nine years old, and was a master swordsman at the age of 15. Unfortunately, he contracted tuberculosis shortly after the formation of the Shinsengumi, which was, back then, incurable He tried to keep it a secret, but after worsening significantly at the battle of the Ikeda-ya inn, he was found out due to a terrible coughing fit in which he coughed up large amounts of blood, meaning he didn't have long to live. He fought his tuberculosis for a long time, but eventually died in a tuberculosis hospital in Tokyo (then Edo) in 1868 at the age of 25-28.
Each of those two can be a proof of a disease, the evidence of the infectious agent (bacterium, virus etc.) or the evidence of the antibody against the agent, depends on many factors which one is chosen (e.g. time after infection, the agent, price of the test). But it depends on the method, it can be falsely negative (e.g. the cultivation was not successful, not the right sample, the body did not begin to produce enough antibodies...) or falsely positive (e.g. contamination of the sample, normal microflora, cross-reacting antibodies).
