Is severe pneumonia contagious

summary

Most pneumonia is non infectious. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterial infection in adult pneumonia. Other pathogens include anaerobes, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Chlamydia trachomatis and other gram-negative bacilli. These pathogens may be transmitted through the contact between people, or through the contact between people and objects, but even if infected with these pathogens, as long as their own immunity is sound, they will not get pneumonia. It is often when the body's resistance decreases that pathogens will take advantage of the situation and make people sick. Is severe pneumonia contagious? Let's talk about it.

Is severe pneumonia contagious

First, there are very few infectious pneumonia, such as SARS, anthrax, and pneumonic plague. This kind of pneumonia is caused by viruses and is highly infectious. It is a kind of infectious disease strictly controlled by the state. Of course, there is no need to be particularly afraid of this kind of disease. Although it is very dangerous, the possibility of getting sick is also very small. The pathogenesis, pathogenesis and treatment of these diseases are different from pneumonia.

Second: pneumonia diet to avoid lean meat, fish and eggs and other high protein diet, can avoid the loss of water metabolism. Pears in fruits moisten the lung, and more water is also good for coughing. Spinach in vegetables is good for the lung. It is hoped that patients with pneumonia will be healthy as soon as possible. The diet should be based on the principles of rehabilitation, supplement of nutrients and increase of disease resistance. The general principle is to eat high calorie, high vitamin, high protein digestible or semi liquid food.

Third: for pneumonia patients with fever, more attention should be paid to drinking water, which can not only make the loss of body water, but also improve the recovery of the disease. Most fruits are beneficial to the disease, but it is not suitable to eat sweet and warm fruits, such as peach, etc.

matters needing attention

Prevention common sense: pneumococcal pneumonia is the most common bacterial pneumonia. In recent years, due to the wide application of antibiotics, mild or atypical cases are common in clinic. Most of them have good prognosis and can recover after 2 weeks of reasonable treatment. However, the prognosis of the patients who are old and frail, old chronic disease, severe condition complicated with shock is poor. Therefore, we should pay attention to the prevention of upper respiratory tract infection, strengthen cold tolerance exercise, avoid cold, drunk, excessive fatigue and other incentives, and actively treat primary diseases, such as chronic cardiopulmonary disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes and oropharyngeal diseases, so as to prevent the occurrence of pneumonia.
