Pneumonia, according to him, will cause your lung tissue to swell, and can lead to the collection of fluid or pus in your lungs.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Pneumonia can affect one or both lungs.\u00a0 Pneumonia can be caused by bacterial or viral respiratory pathogens.\u00a0 The former, however, is more severe than the latter, and may resolve on its own at times.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Categorising Pneumonia<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Pneumonia is categorized based on how one acquires it.\u00a0 When you get pneumonia outside of a healthcare facility, it is called community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria is the most common cause of CAP. Viruses that cause common cold, flu, Covid- 19 and RSV, and sometimes fungi like Cryptococcus can also lead to CAP. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is another category that one gets while in hospital for another illness. \u201cIt is more serious than CAP since it is caused mostly by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. CAP is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and the most common infectious cause of death which claims millions of lives each year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>What do statistics say?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) claimed 2.2 million lives, including 502,000 children under five in 2021 according to the Global Burden of Disease. It is not surprising that most deaths occur in the poorest populations in the low and middle income countries (LMICs) where access to medical facilities and quality treatments are a constraint.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Who is at higher risk of getting pneumonia?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">People above 65, those suffering from diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, malnutrition, HIV and those who are exposed to air pollution and smoke are at higher risk of contracting pneumonia.- Low vaccination rates and lack of breastfeeding are additional risks. One should not forget that respiratory pathogens are transmitted from person to person via droplets. \u00a0Following inhalation, the pathogen will colonize the nasopharynx, and then reach the lung via microaspiration, damaging the lung in the process, resulting in pneumonia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Pneumonia: Signs &amp; Symptoms<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Symptoms of pneumonia include cough, sputum, breathing difficulty, fever, chest pain, fatigue\/weakness, altered mental status, hypotension and multi-organ dysfunction.

Majority of pneumonia happens during winter.\u00a0 So, it is advisable to take a vaccine that will protect us from seasonal infections. This way, we can prevent viral pneumonia and post viral secondary infection. \u201cOne should remember that pneumonia is a highly contagious disease. This being so, it is important to follow a strict hygiene regimen to prevent its spread,\u201d cautions Dr.Ramasubramaniam.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\"><strong>Hygiene Matters<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">It means that one should wash hands with soap and water before eating, before handling food and after using the restroom.
