According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, immune system disorders are not reported as side effects of Escitalopram Actavis: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27586/escitalopram-actavis-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/192067 Adverse reactions occur more frequently during the first or second week of treatment and usually decrease in intensity and frequency as treatment continues. Escitalopram Actavis therefore had no effect on the development of pneumonia.
