After Hillary Clinton appeared to collapse at the 9/11 anniversary ceremony on Sunday, her doctor confirmed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia prior to the event. “It’s not too surprising that she has a pneumonia,” Dr. Frank Esper, pediatric infectious disease specialists at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, one of those experts, told FoxNews.com. Bacterial pneumonia can be treated on an outpatient basis, and patients are advised to take it easy without further restrictions. The immune system also wanes with age, which may make a patient Clinton’s age contagious for a slightly longer illness. An individual’s current health and health history do not make them more susceptible to pneumonia, Kotloff said.
