Answer 2

Pneumonia (an infection of the lungs) is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (a type of bacteria) is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia.

Some other major bacteria that cause pneumonia are Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila.

A pneumonia caused by a virus is called viral pneumonia.

It can be transmitted by contact with an infected person's mouth or when small droplets that become airborne from coughing or sneezing.

It may spread through blood, especially during and shortly after birth.

It can cause fever, chills, cough and difficulty breathing and severe pneumonia can result in death.
