    Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli.[3][14] Symptoms typically include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing.[15] The severity of the condition is variable.[15]
    Pneumonia is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria, and less commonly by other microorganisms.[a] Identifying the responsible pathogen can be difficult. Diagnosis is often based on symptoms and physical examination.[8] Chest X-rays, blood tests, and culture of the sputum may help confirm the diagnosis.[8] The disease may be classified by where it was acquired, such as community- or hospital-acquired or healthcare-associated pneumonia.[18]
    Risk factors for pneumonia include cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sickle cell disease, asthma, diabetes, heart failure, a history of smoking, a poor ability to cough (such as following a stroke), and a weak immune system.[5][7]
    Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia (such as those caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, linked to influenza, or linked to COVID-19) are available.[10] Other methods of prevention include hand washing to prevent infection, not smoking, and social distancing.[10]
    Treatment depends on the underlying cause.[19] Pneumonia believed to be due to bacteria is treated with antibiotics.[11] If the pneumonia is severe, the affected person is generally hospitalized.[19] Oxygen therapy may be used if oxygen levels are low.[11]
    Each year, pneumonia affects about 450 million people globally (7% of the population) and results in about 4 million deaths.[12][13] With the introduction of antibiotics and vaccines in the 20th century, survival has greatly improved.[12] Nevertheless, pneumonia remains a leading cause of death in developing countries, and also among the very old, the very young, and the chronically ill.[12][20] Pneumonia often shortens the period of suffering among those already close to death and has thus been called "the old man's friend".[21]

    My daughter just went to an urgent care for her throat. It turns out the nurse tells her she has bacterial pneumonia . I’m far from stupid when it comes to medical diagnosis and I’ve actually been able to diagnose before swabs and such. Bacterial pneumonia is contagious. Tell me how the hell is it a nurse tells her she has bacterial pneumonia and a doctor comes in and says it’s not contagious? I voiced my concern because I’m over 65 and have a compromised immune system and my son who is suppose to visit for the weekend and if I get it I’m as good as dead. I made it through the Covid without getting it and I was very concerned with cleaning. Do I just told them to add some bleach to hot water washing dishes and clean the toilet and sink each time after she uses the bathroom and to spray Lysol in the house. No kids in her bedroom for 48 hours after she starts taking the medicine.

      Medical diagnoses can sometimes be confusing and require clarification. Bacterial pneumonia is indeed contagious, but it becomes less so once the person with the infection has been on appropriate antibiotics for about 24-48 hours. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance for preventing the spread of the infection, which may include good hand hygiene, proper cleaning practices, and precautions to protect those with compromised immune systems. If you have concerns or questions about your daughter's diagnosis and its implications for your health, it's best to discuss them with her healthcare provider to ensure you're taking necessary precautions.
