A member asked:
Can i get pneumonia easier a third time if i've had it twice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: However, there are medical conditions that can increase your chance of developing pneumonia, so recurrent pneumonia should be evaluated. If the pneumonia always occurs in the same part of the lung, it may be due to an anatomical lesion, which requires further investigation.
