Women, Men, Lifestyle Who We Are About WebMD Site Map sponsored Featured Centers This article is from the WebMD Medical News Archive Yet Another Reason to Put That Cigarette Down By Peggy Peck WebMD Medical News March 8, 2000 (Cleveland) Cigarette smoking is a well-known risk factor for cancer and heart disease, and a new study from the CDC reports that cigarettes are also the No. 1 cause of an infection that can cause severe pneumonia or meningitis. Cigarettes, the CDC researchers say, increase the risk of this infection by four times for smokers and more than double the risk to nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke. The study is reported in this week's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. Pneumococcal infections are caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. They are the leading cause of pneumonia in the U.S. "The more the person smokes, the greater the risk, both in terms of cigarettes per day and years smoking," says researcher Anne Schuchat, MD, chief of the CDC's Respiratory Disease Branch. The risk remains high for 10 years after a person quits, then drops to the risk of nonsmokers, she says. This is good news because it means "this is not a permanent effect of smoking," she says. The CDC estimates that if "the number of people who smoke [were reduced] by just 10%, we could prevent about 4,000 cases of invasive pneumococcal infections pneumonia, bacteremia [infection in the blood], or meningitis each year," Schuchat says.

What are pneumonia symptoms? ... Pneumonia At A Glance What is pneumonia? Pneumonia is an infection of one or both lungs which is usually caused by bacteria viruses , or fungi . Prior to the discovery of antibiotics, one third of all people who developed pneumonia subsequently died from the infection. Currently, over 3 million people develop pneumonia each year in the United States. Over a half a million of these people are admitted to a hospital for treatment. Although most of these people recover, approximately five per cent will die from pneumonia. Pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. How do people "catch pneumonia?" Some cases of pneumonia are contracted by breathing in small droplets that contain the organisms that can cause pneumonia. These droplets get into the air when a person infected with these germs coughs or sneezes. In other cases, pneumonia is caused when bacteria or viruses that are normally present in the mouth, throat, or nose inadvertently enter the lung. During sleep it is quite common for people to aspirate secretions from the mouth, throat, or nose. Normally, the body's reflex response (coughing back up the secretions) and

The president, 68, was taken to the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow for examination and treatment. Doctors had examined him earlier Monday at his country home and decided to hospitalize him. Yeltsin had been resting at the country residence outside Moscow after being diagnosed last Thursday with bronchitis. Doctors had said that his condition was not serious and he needed to rest, but his condition apparently deteriorated, forcing his hospitalization Monday. The Kremlin said the president would be hospitalized for about a week, according to the Interfax news agency.

A statement from the presidential spokesman, Martin Krafl, did not specify Havel's condition but said the situation "is being worked on intensively." Havel's deteriorating condition comes nine days after he underwent intestinal surgery and is the latest in a string of serious ailments to afflict the 61-year-old playwright and former anti-Communist dissident. On Monday, doctors had to cut a hole in Havel's throat to aid his breathing after his right lung collapsed. He remains on a respirator. "Computer analysis confirmed the initial stages of bronchial pneumonia," the doctors said in Tuesday's statement, adding that Havel had developed "heart arrhythmia in the early morning hours. This situation is being intensively treated at present."
