Causes of CHEST INFECTION

Viruses are the major cause of majority of the cases of bronchitis, whereas most pneumonia cases are due to bacteria. Coughing or sneezing of an infected individual causes the spread of these infections. This launches tiny droplets of fluid containing the virus or bacteria into the air, where they can be breathed in by others.³

Certain groups of people are predisposed to developing serious chest infections, such as:

Infants and very young children
Overweight people
Elderly people
Pregnant women
Smokers
People suffering from chronic health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
A recent illness, a transplant, high-dose steroids, chemotherapy or a health condition causing weakening of immune system
