Treatments tend to also address the other problems, not just the pneumonia. Any blockage or damage to the lungs can result in pneumonia which by it's definition is an inflammation of the lungs. More and more cases are showing up, according to the American Lung Association as the result of environmental causes including chemicals. Pneumonia can be treated but the earlier treatment starts the better. Relapses are far more serious than the initial attack.
