A recurrent pneumonia may involve the same segment or lobe in the lung, or it may involve different segments at different times in the patient. A persistent pneumonia is one in which is there is absence of complete resolution, either clinically or radiographically, of the initial pneumonic process.
Streptococcus pneumoniae, a type of bacteria, is the most common cause of pneumonia. Legionella pneumophila is the bacterial type that causes the pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Other bacteria types that can cause pneumonia include the bacteria that cause so-called atypical pneumonia, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumonia. The most common cause of viral pneumonia in adults is the influenza virus. A number of different respiratory viruses cause pneumonia in children, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
