What Is Roseola?
6. Pneumonia
The vast majority of the time there is no reason to be concerned about roseola, but some people will need to be careful about an infection. Our immune systems are usually strong enough to prevent serious problems, but not all people have an immune system that is strong enough.
In people who have weakened immune systems, the bacteria can cause an infection of the lungs, resulting in pneumonia. This is an inflammation of the lining of the lungs that will make it very difficult for the patient to breathe. Pneumonia can be fatal, so it should be treated as a medical emergency.
