Diane Keaton’s death on Saturday has sparked reminders of the risks of pneumonia.<\/p>\n

The iconic actress, director and producer was 79 when she succumbed to the respiratory infection<\/a> in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keaton’s family confirmed her cause of death to People magazine<\/u><\/a> on Wednesday. Fox News Digital has reached out to her rep for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LINGERING LUNG DISORDERS 5 YEARS POST-COVID: HERE’S WHAT TO KNOW<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Pneumonia is defined by Cleveland Clinic as an infection in the lungs\u00a0caused by bacteria<\/u><\/a>, viruses or fungi.<\/p>\n

This can cause the lung tissue to swell and create a buildup of fluid or pus in the lungs.<\/p>\n

Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Fox News’ senior medical analyst, previously said the risk of pneumonia depends on the underlying\u00a0health conditions<\/u><\/a> of the patient and the strength of the person’s immune system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most cases of community-acquired pneumonia are bacterial or viral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bacterial pneumonia is normally more severe than viral pneumonia, according to Cleveland Clinic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It can be caused by an infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, also called pneumococcal disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other bacteria that can cause the respiratory condition include mycoplasma pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Legionella (Legionnaires\u2019 disease), per the above source.<\/p>\n

“Pneumococcus is a major cause of pneumonia \u2014 it can be deadly,” Siegel said. “Invasive pneumococcal disease can have a death rate of up to 20% in adults.”<\/p>\n

The risk of bacterial pneumonia increases with age and with chronic illness, the doctor added.<\/p>\n

Viral pneumonia can sometimes stem from viruses that include the flu, common cold,\u00a0COVID-19<\/u><\/a> and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), according to Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>\n

This type of pneumonia typically improves on its own.<\/p>\n

In less common cases, some fungi (molds) or protozoa can cause pneumonia.<\/p>\n

“The biggest concern is that it could spread into the bloodstream and cause sepsis, which is definitely life-threatening,” Siegel cautioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Atypical pneumonias are caused by mycoplasma, legionella and kinds of chlamydia (not STD) and pertussis, the doctor added.<\/p>\n

Early diagnosis and treatment is key to recovery, especially in patients at risk, Siegel said.<\/p>\n

High-risk groups include the very young, very old, immunocompromised people, those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and people who smoke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those over age 50, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the pneumococcal vaccine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The effective version, known as Prevnar, can work against 20 different strains,” Siegel added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
