Snippet: Viral involvement of the respiratory tract includes tracheobronchitis, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. Imaging findings include ground-glass opacities and patchy consolidations, nodules, airway thickening, and/or bronchiectasis and pleural effusions. These are nonspecific and cannot reliably differentiate the specific virus type. Further, the pathologic findings of most of the viral infections of the lung also have nonspecific pathologic findings including many of the histopathologic patterns that
Document: Viral involvement of the respiratory tract includes tracheobronchitis, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. Imaging findings include ground-glass opacities and patchy consolidations, nodules, airway thickening, and/or bronchiectasis and pleural effusions. These are nonspecific and cannot reliably differentiate the specific virus type. Further, the pathologic findings of most of the viral infections of the lung also have nonspecific pathologic findings including many of the histopathologic patterns that can be caused by many insults to the lung. These include diffuse alveolar damage, interstitial inflammation of the alveoli and airways, and organizing pneumonia. This chapter reviews the viruses that can cause respiratory infections, dividing them into RNA and DNA virus, and cites examples from each group where imaging and/or pathologic findings are specific to the virus type.
