What can cause pneumomia to rapidly spread in body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are: multiple potential causes of pneumonia, it is not a single disease. In general, though, a compromised immune system or other comorbid factors, and/or infection with a particularly virulent pathogen, may predispose to systemic spread.
