A member asked:
When after the flu do you develop pneumonia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Influenza virus causes the flu, and other viruses can cause a flu like illness. Pneumonia is a complication of the flu and occurs in some patients. The timing of infection and then the development of pneumonia is variable depending on the severity of the illness. I hope this helps.
