But it is much more severe. 'Flu viruses can work their way into the breathing passageways and damage the linings, then spread to the air sacs where oxy- gen and carbon dioxide are ex- changed. The workings of the entire body can be disrupted. Antimicrobial drugs do not attack flu viruses but they can work to fend off other complica- tions. With bed rest and medical attention,. most people recover within days or weekfrom the flu. But if the infection is not properly tended, complications pneumonia can set in. There are several different types of pneumonia, some more serious than others. But about half of them are caused , by viruses, and antibiotics are in- effective in treating viral pneu- monia. Antibiotics can be useful, though, in treating types of pneu- monia caused by bacteria. "Walking pneumonia," whose sympto,m is usually a violent cough, is still another kind of infection caused by the smallest free-living agent of disease called mycoplasmas. This agent cannot be called a virus or a bacteria, but it.has characteristics of both. Antibiotics can help combat this infection. Anyone with suspicious symp- torhs of violent coughing, chills, chest pains, fever, and headache, should call his doctor im- mediately. Infections of the res- piratory tract, even when they respond to antibiotics, demand early diagnosis and treatment. .The pneumonia -influenza disease group is the country's fifth lead- ing killer.
