Pneumonias are diseases affecting the respiratory system, specially the lungs. Its habitual treatment consists in the use of antibiotics, which are sometimes excessively used. In this paper we describe 2 cases that are treated by homeopathy with no need of antibiotics. Both patients had suffered from bronchopneumonia 3 times before. They were treated with 5 drops of Phosphorus 6 CH 3 times a day during a month and the response was favorable. On concluding the treatment, they continued taking drugs. These subjects suffered from pneumonia 6 months ago and they are still asymptomatic.
