Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. Recently, there have been many cases of pneumonia in children nearby, and I'm worried that my child might also get pneumonia. Could you please tell me what the transmission of pediatric pneumonia is?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia is a general term for inflammation of the lungs, which can be caused by various pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.). Additionally, autoimmune diseases or other chemical and physical injuries can also lead to pneumonia, with pathogens still being the most common cause. Infectious pneumonia is rarely seen, such as SARS, anthrax, and pneumonic plague. This type of pneumonia is caused by viruses. The transmission is highly infectious, and it is a contagious disease strictly controlled by the state. Of course, there is no need to be particularly afraid of this disease. Although it is dangerous, the probability of contracting the disease is very low. The pathogenesis, pathogenesis, and treatment of these diseases are different from those of pneumonia.
