(12 Sep 2016) Anybody, no
(12 Sep 2016) Anybody, no matter their age or how healthy they are, can develop pneumonia.
And it's possible the campaign trail's grueling schedule, with its germy hand-shaking and selfie-taking, increased Hillary Clinton's risk.
Clinton's illness appears mild, but it is fueling the question of what else voters need to know about whether she and Donald Trump are fit enough to be president.
Yet the reality: There's not much of a crystal ball to predict things like a common infection.
Dr. Lisa Kopas, a pulmonologist at Houston Methodist Hospital, describes what patients go through when they have a mild case of pneumonia, similar to what Hillary Clinton is experiencing on the campaign trail.
Kopas, who is not treating Clinton and has not reviewed her medical records, says most patients with less severe pneumonia - often called "walking pneumonia" - are prescribed antibiotics, told to get plenty of rest and keep hydrated.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs.
Often it's a bacterial infection that sweeps in after a cold or flu virus.
Each year, about 1 million people in the United States seek hospital care because of pneumonia, and it causes tens of thousands of deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
