The causes of bronchitis vs. pneumonia also differ. Bronchitis is usually caused by a virus. Pneumonia can be viral, bacterial, or fungal. This, of course, impacts treatment: Bronchitis is usually left to run its course. Pneumonia, on the other hand, may require prescription medications, and,...
The two most common causes of pneumonia are from viral pathogens or bacterial pathogens. Some types of bacterial pneumonia can be prevented with vaccines, such as the aggressive bacteria Strep. Pneumoniae, prevented with the pneumococcal vaccine. ...

In particular, the most significant feature of the electronic structure of VO2+ seems to be the existence of considerable oxygen to vanadium pi-bonding. A molecular orbital energy level scheme is estimated which is able to account for both the "crystal field" and the "charge transfer" spectra...
How do we differentiate if the child has the common cough and cold or has developed pneumonia? Common cough and cold is a viral,self-limited but contagious disease. Children get sick when their fingers get contaminated with infected secretions from touching surfaces and are rubbed into their nose...
A number of different model systems (guinea pigs, dogs, cats, mice) and types of challenging infection, both bacterial and viral, are considered. For post-inoculation radiation exposure (which is more relevant to LDRT for COVID-19 pneumonia) the results are heterogeneous, with one study (of...
Pneumonia can also develop into a seriouslung diseasethat may require treatment in a hospital if it causes complications. Dr. Melissa Conrad Stöppler on MedicineNet says that treatment for pneumonia may be necessary to control the spread of viral or bacterial infections in the body.2 ...
(Pathology) inflammation of one or both lungs, in which the air sacs (alveoli) become filled with liquid, which renders them useless for breathing. It is usually caused by bacterial (esp pneumococcal) or viral infection [C17: New Latin from Greek frompneumōnlung] ...
Viral pneumonia.Viruses also can cause pneumonia, with influenza the most likely culprit. Older adults who have heart or lung disease, and/or take immunosuppressant drugs also are susceptible to viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is often milder than bacterial pneumonia, but it can also be...
Studies document that patients are frequently infected with both bacterial and viral pathogens, making it impossible to rule out bacterial disease even when rapid viral test results are positive. Additionally, no unique identifying clinical characteristics are present that allow the physician to differentia...
