Chemical Pneumonia will have almost the ame symptoms as other pneumonia except that the cause is not germs initially. It occurs due to inhalation of toxic materials. Classical exmaple is exposure to toxic fumes to petroleum. The classical symptoms are cough, difficulty in breathing, chest indrawing, and oxygen hunger in severe cases. Later on when the lung tissue is injured by the chemical secondary infection by various germs can also occur.
