The death of ESPN reporter Ed Aschoff is a reminder of how deadly pneumonia can be, even in healthy adults, experts say
The flu can lead to pneumonia in several ways. The virus itself can cause viral pneumonia, but having the flu can also put at person at risk for bacterial pneumonia, which is considered more severe.
It's unclear if Aschoff had bacterial pneumonia, but he said in his Dec. 5 tweet that he was taking antibiotics. Not every case of pneumonia is severe, however, and many can be treated with outpatient care, Choi said.
