Often a viral pneumonia(Flu) will resolve with favorable outcome but the damage to host defense invariably leads to secondary bacterial infection ,that most often kills the patient in the pre-antibiotic era. I want to draw your attention to the spanish flu of 1918. At that time in history a virus was not even in someone's imagination . While virus was causing disease no one knew of their existence. Flu is short for Influenza and Specialist of the day blamed the disease on the Bacterium Haemophilus influenzae the true killer in the Flue outbreak of 1918. This is why people get prescribed antibiotics. I do not prescribe , i advise doctors at big hospitals when to give what to whom so they leave via the front door and not the back. for i am a medical microbiologist.
Is it normal that I've never had yeast infection?
