Pnuemonia Posted: 06-15-06 18:11pm


I was wondering if there have been any cases where a cortizone shot has caused an individual to contract pnuemonia? My mom has had two separate instances where she received a cortizone shot and approx. A month later, came down with pneumonia. Just wondering if there may be a link. :?:

One cortisone shot can't cause pneumonia one month after receiving the medicine. Why did she get cortisone shot? What kind of pneumonia she had?
