Body
was changed:
A viral respiratory tract infection is a broad term given to pulmonary infection from various agents.
Pathology
They can be caused by a large number of viral agents. The list includes
RNA viruses
- orthomyxoviridae
- influenza pneumonia
- H1N1 pneumonia - swine influenza
- H5N1 pneumonia - avian influenza
- influenza pneumonia
- paramyxoviridae
- respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
- human metapneumovirus (HMTV)
- measles - respiratory tract infection from measles
- mumps - respiratory tract infection from mumps
- coxsackievirus -
- echovirus -
- enterovirus -
DNA viruses
- adenovirus - adenovirus lung infection
- herpes simplex virus (HSV)
- cytomegalovirus - cytomegalovirus pneumonia
- varicella-zoster virus (VZV) - varicella pneumonia
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) - EBV pneumonia
- human papilloma virusv (HPV) - HPV pneumonia
Radiographic features
Imaging findings alone are not sufficient for the definitive diagnosis of viral pneumonia.
Radiographic patterns can be variable dependant on virus as a well as host factors.
