Treatment for pneumonia depends on the type and severity of the pneumonia. The main types and their associated treatments include: Bacterial pneumonia: Treatment is usually with antibiotics.

In late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, several patients with viral pneumonia were identified as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019‐nCoV). So far, there are no specific treatments for patients with coronavirus disease (COVID), and the treatments available today are based on previous experience with ...
Pneumonia, either a direct result of the virus infection in the lung, or through secondary bacterial infections shortly after the viral episode, is also common in influenza, particularly among adults [2]. Secondary bacterial pneumonia often complicates influenza and in fact played a significant role...
This narrative review summarizes what is currently known about how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells and causes disease as a basis for considering whether
In this setting, this finding has a sensitivity of 22% and specificity of 100% for a diagnosis of Japanese encephalitis52. However, this feature is also seen in other flaviviral encephalitides; therefore, interpretation needs to take into account the local epidemiology. Photo T. Solomon; ...
Cold symptoms usually resolve in one to two weeks whether treated or not. Antibiotics do not affect viruses, which are the cause of colds. However, bacterial infections that can follow viral infections, for example, infections of the ears and sinuses, may be treated with antibiotics. For the ...
Cryo-EM structure analysis indicated that the RBD domain of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds to the receptor ACE2 in host cells [56], allowing SARS-CoV-2 to enter cells for viral replication [57]. Since the RBD domain of the S protein is an immunodominant and highly specific targe...
41 A reevaluation of the use of steroids in other viral pneumonias may be warranted, with careful attention to trial design (dose, timing, and severity of illness); this would likely impact the body of evidence for steroids in ARDS. Inhaled Pulmonary Vasodilators Vasculopathy in ARDS can ...

In addition to helping your body grow new white blood cells, the patient will usually be put on medication that can be used to eliminate any infectious diseases that are putting stress on the immune system. This will allow the new white blood cells to flourish. Medication needed for this tr...
