My experience with pneumonia is family, and friends only. Never had pneumonia myself.
I was of the impression pneumonia was brought on by defeat, or as I read in the link below compromised immune system ie; from one’s body fighting off some other condition, or disease, thus the exhausted immune system being subject to viral infection, which is most likely susceptible lungs.
My perspective wasn’t totally correct, but from what I’m reading it was almost correct. As everything in life there’s no categorizing everything into a single basket. :)
So, compromised immune system seems to be the majority of the basis of pheumonia be it from Parkinsons, cancer, heart disease, something that has worn the immune system down during a fight for life so to speak.
IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE!? Someone who can fill us all in as to whether the above is right, partially right, or dead wrong?
