In Medicine,2+2are not always 4....We all have a unique immune system...
Whenever we fall sick, our immune system helps us to contain the disease but sometimes it fails and the disease spreads...
Sometimes it fights vigorously and result in various manifestations, like same pneumonia in one patient can be treated with oral medicines while in another requires injections and hospitalisation. In some, it can lead to simple fluid collection while in others, it may cause pus formation which may require operation. This same pneumonia may cause respiratory failure in few and patient may need Ventilator support.
Whether a patient will improve or not after good treatment depends on lots of innate factors like immune system, nutritional status, age, and specially pre-existing diseases...
