Pneumonia
Pneumonia often leads to a sudden high fever, the feeling that you are very unwell, a cough and shortness of breath. People who are otherwise in good health generally recover from pneumonia within a few weeks. Children and older people might not have the typical symptoms, which can sometimes make it difficult to diagnose.
Hearing loss and deafness in children
In Germany and other countries, babies are routinely given hearing tests immediately after birth. The goal is to diagnose and treat hearing problems as early as possible. This screening test is especially important for children's language and speech development.
