Pneumonia: A normal 20 year old woman should not be getting multiple episodes of pneumonia. Stop smoking! then find out the causative agents of the pneumonia (specific bacteria, viruses, atypicals, etc.), and whether the diagnoses were correct (some doctors say the patient has pneumonia when it doesn't fit the definition). Then you may need your immune system assessed. Good luck.
