Elderly people suffering from conditions like dementia are often pumped full of powerful meds
unfortunately it turns out, these drugs can actually increase the risk of potentially deadly pneumonia. Researchers looked at data on nearly 2,000 seniors -- 258 with pneumonia, and 1,686 without -- they found that the patients on antipsychotic meds were twice as likely to get sick.
When your cd4 falls below 200. You wouldn't have PCP within 45 days of infection.

Yes I did tell them. The pneumonia symptoms are starting to clear up I don't have a fever, never had a cough, starting to breathe better, and I have a lot more energy but still a bit light headed and throat is kind of sore and my voice hasn't return fully. I have been tested will get the results tomorrow.
Back in June my husband developed a severe case of pneumonia. By the time we got him to the hospital he was experiencing AFIB along with the pneumonia. He was admitted to the hospital and remained there for 10 days. His heart is back in sinus rythmn and has been for several weeks. The doctors have him on Walfarin and tell us he needs to keep taking them; however, we are wondering why. Why exactly is the likelihood of him falling back into AFIB for no reason at all.
Could be allergies, yes once you have had pneumonia you will have scarring ..it wont affect you, check out online for environmental allergies .
Yes “walking pneumonia” is contagious. The development of more symptoms, in the face of antibiotic therapy, is worrisome as is the “side pain” which I assume to be pleurisy and suggests that this infection may fall into the category of complicated pneumonia. In this circumstance you should definitely request careful reevaluation by your doctor or his designate to include at a minimum a repeat chest X-ray, a complete blood count and culture of your sputum.
One might suspect that you have underlying asthma and that when you get a viral infection each year, it triggers pneumonia –like symptoms. I would suggest getting a pulmonary function test while you are sick to see if this is, indeed, asthma. If this is not the case, another possible reason is that the local immune system in your lungs is not protecting you from the infection. This is usually an antibody problem and can be checked with a blood test.
You are very confident in those test. Swollen lymph nodes, rashes, aphthous ulcer, rasping breath sounds and a very dry irritating cough, tiredness etc. doesn't look like suspicious to you. OK, I don't expect that you will say "Ooh you have those symptoms, you are positive." No! Actually I was only asked a question about PCP pneumonia. Can someone have PCP pneumonia for 3 months without temperature?
I'm 21 years old. I've been sick for about 6 weeks now. My symptoms are extreme fatigue, weight loss (about 12 pounds), difficulty breathing, and bruising very easily. I just checked out of the hospital yesterday, where I was admitted for pneumonia and a high WBC count. When I checked out, I was told my WBC is still too high, and that I'll need to get it checked soon.
24 days ago i went to attend a seminar in companies head office where i met my seniors and boozed up high...i was blacked out nd when i opened my eyes i was in a local brothel with my seniors...they were taking girl so do i took one...i allways have spare durex condom in my wallet...i was having sex with her when i notice condom is broke totally...i stopped and shocked...
i have been showing signs of pneumonia lately and also felt a small bum under my armpit but cannot see anything. what i want to know is can the axillary lymph node be linked to pneumonia because usually i hear it swells in the neck? i also was using doxycycline 100 mg and septra for chlamydia. its kinda strange how pneumonia just popped up a while after my chlamydia and cleared up. i am really freaking out im going for a test today.
hi mav,
from the immense amount of reading i have done on the web, diarrhea is one of the symptoms but i have also read that the hiv symptoms do not occur in singles, so u'd have a lot of other symptoms also together, but i 'd let one of the doctors confirm it for you.
My normally active 65 year old mother had what they thought was a TIA a week ago, effected vision in one eye( self resolved), some mild slurring and missing a word. MRI and CT scan brain showed no damage, blood workups, sugar etc all normal. However she seems to be getting confusion or 'mild delerium' symptoms each day surprisingly the same time between 9am and 12pm for the last week since.
A1C normal as well. my symptoms have become more progressive over last 6 months. i had pneumonia in 2009 with radiologists declaring after several cts, bone scans that i possibly had metastatic cancer or possibly "myelo -something leukemia". after 9 months of testing nothing showed up. i continue to be followed every 6 months by oncology. could this possibly be some form of leukemia. i feel something is off.
Influenza viruses can cause a common cold or flu, leading a healthy individual to take a few days or a week off work. However, the flu can exacerbate existing health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory disorders, leading to severe complications for individuals over 65 with a weakened immune system.
Hello I had COVID and pneumonia 3 weeks ago. I tested negative for COVID today and have no symptoms I'm just dealing with the pneumonia now which should be a few more weeks hopefully til I'm 100. Should I get the vaccine now or is it best to wait??
I’ve been diagnosed with lobar pneumonia and was put on antibiotics. It’s been two days (5 doses of antibiotics, so far) and nothing has changed! There is still no congestion, no coughing (I’ve even had 5 doses of Musinex)...just fatigue and shortness of breath. The pain is on and off....I feel crazy!!! HELP?!? (No, I’ve not been sick...my Mom was treated for the flu, but I only had contact with her after she had begun her medication...
You know, if you can't feed them two different kinds, I'd be more likely to keep the older cats on the younger cat food until they are all seniors, rather than the other way around. Unless it makes them fat, it probably won't hurt the seniors to be on junior food a little longer. There is not quite enough calorie count in the senior food for the younger kitties.
