                        Maybe the pneumonia was just a coincidence.  I've had continual hair loss (not in chunks however) for two years.  Doctors have checked thyroid, it was normal.  A dermatologist found my iron was low and this could be a cause.  Also stress can do it.  And even smoking.  I suggest you see a dermatologist as they deal with hair and skin.  Good luck!
