Won't a physically strong person get pneumonia?

People who are physically strong can also get pneumonia. Pneumonia refers to infectious inflammation of the alveoli, distal airways, and interstitium of the lungs, which can be caused by pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.

1. Pneumonia will occur

1. Bacteria: When the body's immunity decreases, it is easy to be invaded by bacteria and pneumonia occurs. Common pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, etc.;

2. Viral infections: such as adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, cytomegalovirus, new coronavirus, etc., can lead to the occurrence of pneumonia;

3. Other factors: If the patient smokes for a long time or is in a second-hand smoke environment, it may lead to bronchial mucosal damage, thereby increasing the probability of pneumonia.

2. You will not get pneumonia

Although strong people have relatively strong immunity, it does not mean that they will not get pneumonia. Because pneumonia is contagious and self-limiting, pneumonia may also be induced if the patient comes into contact with an infected person with the pathogen of pneumonia and has an underlying medical condition. Some elderly people also develop pneumonia due to their aging and gradually reduced immune function.

Regardless of whether you are a strong person or not, you should take protective measures in your daily life and avoid going thereabortionIn densely populated places, wear a mask when going out, and at the same time pay attention to a balanced diet and appropriate exercise to enhance physical fitness.
