First comparison between immune mechanisms driving COVID-19 pneumonia with other pneumonias
CHICAGO - Bacteria or viruses like influenza that cause pneumonia can spread across large regions of the lung over the course of hours. In the modern intensive care unit, these bacteria or viruses are usually controlled either by antibiotics or by the body s immune system within the first few days of the illness.

COVID-19 pneumonia causes more damage than typical pneumonia, says study ANI | Updated: Jan 12, 2021 23:19 IST
Washington [US], January 12 (ANI): Researchers from the Northwestern University claims that COVID-19pneumonia spreads like multiple wildfires, leaving destroyed lung tissue in its wake.
COVID pneumonia is significantly different from pneumonia caused by other causes, reports a new study. The infection leaves damage in its wake and fuels the fever, low blood pressure and damage to the kidneys, brain, heart and other organs in patients with COVID-19. Scientists discovered a target for treating COVID pneumonia.
