Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common bacteria. Many people dismiss pneumonia as an illness that only the elderly or sick people get in the hospital. That’s not always true. Pneumococcal pneumonia can strike anywhere, anytime. Even if you’re as young as 65 and take good care of yourself, you still may be at increased risk.
Pneumococcal pneumonia is not a cold or the flu. It is a bacterial lung disease, while the flu and cold are caused by viruses. Symptoms can come on quickly and can include cough, fatigue, high fever, shaking chills, and chest pain with difficulty breathing.
