The common cold differs from pneumonia in that:
- APneumonia is a communicable disease whereas the common cold is a nutritional deficiency disease.
- BPneumonia can be prevented by a live attenuated bacterial vaccine whereas there is no effective vaccine for the common cold.
- CPneumonia is caused by a virus while the common cold is caused by the bacterium $Haemophilus$ $influenzae$.
- DPneumonia pathogens infect the alveoli whereas the common cold affects the nose and respiratory passage but not the lungs.
