10Repeated Bouts of Pneumonia

Doctor Checking Patient

Pneumonia is basically an inflammatory condition of the lung that affects small air sacks called alveoli. It’s usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria, and less commonly by other microorganisms. Even so, if the same area of your lungs is repeatedly leading to pneumonia, it could be an early sign of lung cancer.

Moreover, since pneumonia and lung cancer both occur in the lungs, they share the same overlapping symptoms. And because cancer of the lungs leads to weakening of the immune system, the individual becomes more susceptible to pneumonia.
