Relationship Between Pneumonia and Flu

Dear doctors, I was once told by some colleague that there's a relationship between pneumonia and flu. The colleague said that flu can develop into pneumonia if the flu viruses find a chance to escape into the victim's lungs and start attacking them. Is there any truth in this? Or, is it necessary that every pneumonia must extend from flu? If not, what are the biological names for viruses causing flu and pneumonia? I'm eager for your response!

Majibu ya haraka haraka:

Flu (au influenza) inaletwa na virus infection - hivi virus vinabadilika badilika na hakuna kinga (vaccine) moja.

Pneumonia inaletwa na bacterial infection of lungs. Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria wanahusika sana. Hawa bacteria wanashambulia mapafu na yakijaa maji basi unaweza kufa (basically drowning in your own juices).

Ukiwa na flu sio lazima upate pneumonia. Lakini kama flu iki-weaken immune system yako hawa bacteria wa pneumonia wanaweza kukushambulia. Sio flu viruses vinavyoleta pneumonia.

Pneumonia si lazima ifuatie flu. Gonjwa lolote lile litakalo-compromize immune system linaweza kukuletea pneumonia.

Madaktari wa kweli naomba mnikosoe au kuendeleza maelezo.

Mkuu kifyatu kuna vira pneumonia kwa taarifa tu! Pia increase in secretions ukiwa na flu inawawezesha bakteria kucolonize easily
