Both affect the respiratory system, the first being caused by a virus, while the second is usually caused by a bacterium, the most frequent being pneumococcus, also responsible for other diseases such as meningitis and blood infections. Despite being different, one can "pave the way" for the other: when we catch the flu, which causes more than 1 billion infections worldwide each year, our immune and respiratory systems are weakened, creating a favorable scenario for a pneumococcal infection. This context can be especially dangerous when we consider the impact of pneumonia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.6 million people die annually from this disease, not to mention the large number of severe cases and hospitalizations it causes. Furthermore, it can present a very high risk for people with chronic illnesses: up to 9 times greater chance of contracting pneumonia. #PNEUMONIA #fatigue #FLU #fever
