Difference between Common cold and Pneumonia

Common cold vs. Pneumonia

The common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose. Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the small air sacs known as alveoli.

Adenoviridae

Adenoviruses (members of the family Adenoviridae) are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (without an outer lipid bilayer) viruses with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double stranded DNA genome.
