The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the statements about pneumonia are not correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "It is caused by Salmonella typhi." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Salmonella typhi is the bacterium that causes typhoid fever, not pneumonia. Pneumonia is primarily caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses, or fungi. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "Symptoms of pneumonia include fever with chills, cough and headache." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Pneumonia typically presents with symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, and headache. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** "Infect alveoli of lungs." - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Pneumonia affects the alveoli in the lungs, leading to inflammation and fluid accumulation, which impairs gas exchange. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D:** "In severe cases intestinal perforation may occur." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Pneumonia does not cause intestinal perforation; it primarily affects the respiratory system, particularly the lungs and alveoli. ### Conclusion Now, let's summarize the findings: - Statement A: Incorrect - Statement B: Correct - Statement C: Correct - Statement D: Incorrect **Total Incorrect Statements:** 2 (A and D) ### Final Answer The answer to the question is **2 statements are not correct about pneumonia.** ---
