Pneumonia in older adults generally refers to pneumonia that occurs at age 65 or older. Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, or other organisms. More than 50% of people with pneumonia and more than 90% of people who die of pneumonia are aged 65 or older. In older adults, symptoms are often not obvious, so diagnosis is easily delayed. If you have suspected symptoms, please consult a pulmonology and allergy specialist immediately.2026-06-26

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is the most common virus that causes bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways) and pneumonia in infants and young children. It is highly contagious, and most children are infected at least once before the age of 2. Premature infants, children with congenital heart disease, and people with weakened immunity need to take extra care.2026-06-26
