Atypical pneumonia and immune function
by carlplatonov, Apr 09, 2003 12:00AM
Is any regularity found out among people who were falling ill an atypical pneumonia ?
May a lowered immune function be a determinative?
The matter is that I apply my method of a telesuggestion for rendering distant SOS-help and first of all I enlarge immune protective function. Whether I can find comprehension and cooperation with official medicine in struggle against this dangerous disease?
Yours faithfullyCarl A.Platonov.

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung. Most commonly it is due to an infection. This inflammation or irritation may lead to a cough that persists for 6 to 8 weeks after the actual infection clears. Pneumonia may begin with a fever. Other symptoms may include chills, headache, a dry cough, a general feeling of discomfort and body aches. Preventative measures include frequent hand washing or the use of alcohol-based hand rubs. Also covering your mouth and nose with a tissue before sneezing or coughing will help to decrease the spread.
Generally healthy people do not fall ill to pneumonia. So it is usually thought of as not being contagious. Many viruses and bacteria can cause pneumonia. When it is due to a germ that is not a common cause it’s called atypical pneumonia. There is no known regularity found among people who fall ill to atypical pneumonia. Lowered immune function will make a person more likely to fall ill to pneumonia.
