Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Atypical pneumonia due to Mycoplasma and Chlamydia usually cause milder forms of pneumonia and are characterized by a more drawn out course of symptoms unlike other forms of pneumonia which can come on more quickly with more severe early symptoms.

Sunday's order affects only 180 of the 1.2 million students in the area, but officials say the number will grow if cases of the disease continue to mount.

It can be in just one part of the lungs, or it can involve many parts. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. The severity of pneumonia depends on which organism is causing the infection. Viral pneumonias are usually not very serious, but they can be life-threatening in very old and very young patients, and in people whose immune systems are weak. Even severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is believed to have a viral cause, has caused very few deaths (~3-4% of all cases) as of March 19, 2003.

Hope's physician, Dr. Lee Kagan, said the 98-year-old entertainer is receiving antibiotics and breathing treatments and was reported in stable condition. Hope's publicist, Ward Grant, said Hope called his doctor Sunday after experiencing difficulty breathing and, following the doctor's recommendation, checked into St. Joseph Medical Center that evening, accompanied by his wife of 67 years, Dolores. "He was in serious condition when he was first admitted," Kagan said. "He was quite ill, but as I say, he has improved." The entertainer was hospitalized in June 2000 for gastrointestinal bleeding. Grant said the current hospitalization has nothing to do with Hope's previous health problem. VIDEO Entertainer Bob Hope checked into a Los Angeles hospital to receive treatment for pneumonia.

Clinical manifestations include fevers, cough with or without sputum production, shortness of breath, and pleuritic chest pain. Physical exam may reveal crackles (rales) in the lungs with dullness to percussion and egophony. Infiltrates with or without pleural effusions may be seen on CXR. Patients may have few of these findings, particularly the very young or old, or those with other chronic illnesses. Additionally, these findings are nonspecific, and other diagnoses deserve consideration. In children, tachypnea is the most sensitive physical finding and warrants an x-ray even in the absence of rales, etc. The differential diagnosis includes heart failure, malignancy, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vasculitis, eosinophilic pneumonia, and inflammatory lung diseases, etc.
