chemical pneumonia? i would need to know a bit more about this odd diagnosis or the chemical that caused it but but basically pneumonia is not contagious. some organisms that can cause pneumonia like a virus or bacteria can be contagious but exposure to this virus or bacteria will not necessarily cause pneumonia in someone else. they could just end up with a cold.
my brother has been diagnosed with chemical pneumonia. can this be passed on to another person? . he is concerned that there may be a possibility that his two children might contract the disease.
