Is pneumonia contagious?
Pneumonia may be contagious but it depends on multiple factors. Most simply:
The cause of the pneumonia
The immune state of the person being exposed
Bacteria are the most common cause, but pneumonia may also be brought on by viruses, fungus or even inhalation of certain chemicals. Pneumonias caused by bacteria and viruses are usually contagious, whereas those caused by fungus and chemicals are not.
