- Respiratory viruses that cause community-acquired pneumonia
ARDS has predominantly linked with:-
Influenza virus (Mostly H5N1, Sometimes H1N1)
Coronavirus (SARS – CoV, MERS – CoV)
Herpesviridae
- Among Herpesviridae, herpes simplex virus (HSV) and cytomegalic virus (CMV) are the two viruses causing nosocomial viral pneumonia that can evolve into ARDS.
