In public perception, pneumonia is often simply considered to have been caused by streptococcus. However, this is an extremely one-sided misconception. In fact, there is a wide variety of pathogens that can cause pneumonia, as well as variations in the disease-causing mechanisms.
Pneumococcus is indeed one of the common pathogens that causes pneumonia. It can cause inflammation when human immunity is reduced, for example, after a cold, overwork, or in vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, etc. Pneumococcal pneumonia is usually acute, with patients suffering from typical symptoms such as high fever, cough, rusty cough, which can cause respiratory difficulties, chest pain, etc. However, in addition to pneumocococcal, there are many other factors that can cause pneumonia.
Virus infection is another major cause of pneumonia. For example, during the influenza season, some patients, especially the elderly, children and chronically ill, may have further infested their lungs and caused viral pneumonia. The symptoms of pneumonia are different from those of streptococcal pneumonia, which may be associated with influenza symptoms such as high heat, body muscle acidity and lack of strength, while coughing is more intense and relatively low. In addition, the new coronary virus, which has received much attention in recent years, can cause new coronary pneumonia, with a variety of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic infections to light, common and even severe pneumonia, with signs of fever, cough, inactivity, smell loss or loss, which can lead to life-threatening conditions such as respiratory failure in serious cases.
Pyramids are also common pathogens that cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is good for children and young people, is relatively slow and early symptoms may be similar to common colds, such as cough, fever, etc., but as the conditions develop, cough increases, mostly irritating dry coughs, no sips or sips, and fever is sustainable for 2 – 3 weeks, and lung signs are often not visible and are not consistent with lung imaging performance and prone to misdiagnosis.
Fungi can also cause pneumonia, especially among specific populations. For example, the long-term use of broad-spectral antibiotics, sugar-coated hormones, and the vulnerability to fungal pneumonia of people suffering from diseases with low immune capacity, such as AIDS and diabetes. Common, such as white melody, fungus, etc. Symptoms of fungal pneumonia are usually more hidden, with possible signs of fever, cough, cough, coding, etc., and tend to be more persistent, with long treatment cycles and relatively poor prognosis.
In addition, atypical pathogens, such as chlamydia, may cause pneumonia. Symptoms of chlamydia are similar to styl pneumonia, with relatively slow onset and mixed symptoms associated with cough, fever, headache, muscle pain, etc.
In the context of pneumonia, hospital access to the pathogen of pneumonia is more complex. During their stay in hospital, patients are vulnerable to drug-resistant bacteria such as methoxysylvine fungus (MRSA) and Bowman non-activated fungi, which tend to cause more serious cases of pneumonia, are difficult to treat and have higher mortality.
Understanding the multiple causes of pneumonia is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. If pneumonia is mistakenly believed to have been caused by streptococcus, other pathogens may be missed during the diagnosis, thus delaying treatment. For example, for persons with viral pneumonia, the use of antibiotics is ineffective if treated according to streptococcus pneumonia, which can lead to an increase in the condition. Preventive measures vary from pathogen to pathogens. For pneumococcal pneumonia, it can be prevented by vaccination against pneumocococcal vaccine, while for viral pneumonia, such as influenza pneumonia, vaccination against influenza can be effective in reducing the risk of disease, and for fungal pneumonia, priority needs to be given to the prevention of susceptibility factors, such as the rational use of antibiotics and sugary cortex hormones and the improvement of their immunity.
In sum, the causes of pneumonia are multifaceted and are by no means limited to streptococcal pneumonia. We should put an end to this misconception and raise overall awareness of pneumonia in order to better prevent, diagnose and treat pneumonia and protect ourselves and the health of others.
