Some are - some aren't.
Bronchitis isn't contagious for example.

There are many different sorts of 'chest infections' but as a rule, infections described as such are not contagious.

No, but the cold that led to the chest infection is contagious..

well there's a virus going around here that seems to bypass the cold stage & goes straight to the chest & stomach.

Chest infections are contagious but you need to cough in the face of your opponent to create lasting damage.

The answer is in the word "infection". For something to be infectious it is by definition contagious.
