Pneumonia is also increasingly prevalent in patients with specific comorbidities or risk factors, including smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, diabetes mellitus, malignancy, heart failure, neurologic diseases, narcotic and alcohol use, and chronic liver disease. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows increased areas of ill-defined nodular opacity (arrows) in both lower lung zones, especially in the left retrocardiac area. The need of a standardized reporting scheme and language, in imaging of COVID-19 pneumonia, has been welcomed by major scientific societies. 2, European Journal of Radiology, Vol. After completing this journal-based SA-CME activity, participants will be able to: ■ Identify radiographic and characteristic CT patterns of viral pneumonia according to pathogen. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows diffuse ill-defined GGO (arrows) in both lungs. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. A summary of CT findings in viral pneumonia is shown in Table 1. HSV type 1 pneumonia is uncommon, usually localized, and well tolerated in healthy individuals; however, it is observed in immunocompromised patients or individuals whose airways have been traumatized by intubation, smoke inhalation, or chronic cigarette smoking (18). Signs and symptoms of infection included fever, cough, diarrhea, shortness of breath, lymphocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Reverse transcriptase PCR is the most commonly used test for making a clinical diagnosis of H1N1 infection and differentiating it from seasonal influenza viruses (89,90). Studies were eligible if they included immunocompetent patients with up to 14 days of viral pneumonia. What is the Role of Respiratory Viruses in Community-Acquired Pneumonia? In 2012, another coronavirus-related epidemic occurred in the Middle East that was identified as MERS (70). ). Human bocavirus also is detected frequently in adults with mild respiratory symptoms. Influenza virus drugs inhibit the ion channel M2 protein or the enzyme neuraminidase. The papillomas may be multiple (tracheobronchial papillomatosis) and involve the lung parenchyma. This pathogen contributes to severe pneumonia in immunocompromised adults (38). Mild, asymptomatic pneumonitis occurs in about 5%–10% of cases of infectious mononucleosis (174,175). ... Cavitation is not seen in viral pneumonia, mycoplasma and rarely in streptococcus pneumoniae. influenza pneumonia. Adenovirus infection exhibits more severe and fatal conditions with acute respiratory distress syndrome in immunocompromised patients. Pulmonary interstitial edema can be striking, although it usually is transient. A sample of 58 age-matched patients was randomly selected and evaluated by four radiologists from the United States in a similar fashion. Intensive medical treatment was performed and the patient recovered. Late sequelae of varicella-zoster infection consist of multiple 1–2-mm-diameter calcified nodules (17). Pneumonia due to varicella-zoster virus (α Herpesvirinae) in a 53-year-old man who underwent liver transplantation 5 months before contracting the disease. Bocavirus is a single-stranded DNA virus and a member of the family Parvoviridae, first isolated in 2005 from nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens from children (33). Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is considered to be an acquired disease secondary to adenovirus infection in childhood (143–146). Viral pneumonia and respiratory sepsis: association, causation, or it depends? (a) Pneumonia due to varicella-zoster virus shows multifocal 1–10-mm well-defined or ill-defined nodular opacity (arrows) with a surrounding halo or patchy GGO (arrowheads) in both lungs. Pathogenic hantavirus is one of the few viral pathogens that target endothelial cells throughout the body, with two different clinical manifestations that usually are related to the kidney (hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome) or lung (hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome). CT features of CMV pneumonia consist of lobar consolidation, diffuse and focal ground-glass opacities, irregular reticular opacities, and multiple miliary nodules or small nodules with associated areas of ground-glass opacity (halo sign) (164,169–172) (Fig 25). Although the radiologic manifestations of viral pneumonia are nonspecific and difficult to differentiate from those of other infections, it is important to consider viral infection when confronted with a rapidly progressive pneumonia in patients with risk factors for infection. CMV does not produce clinical disease in most people with an intact immune system. 295, No. Herpes simplex virus type 1.—Herpes simplex virus type 1 pneumonia may be a life-threatening infection seen almost exclusively in immunocompromised and/or mechanically ventilated patients, usually as a component of polymicrobial infection (156). Human papilloma viruses are known to cause recurrent papillomas and have been linked to lung cancer. Recently, clarithromycin-naproxen-oseltamivir combination therapy for influenza A (H3N2) showed a reduction in mortality and length of hospital stay (88). In a study by Chang et al (146) of 19 children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans, chest radiographs showed five patterns: (a) unilateral hyperlucency of increased volume, (b) complete collapse of the affected lobe, (c) unilateral hyperlucency of a small or normal-sized lung, (d) bilateral hyperlucent lungs, and (e) mixed pattern of persistent collapse and hyperlucent and peribronchial thickening. From the Department of Radiology and Research Institute of Radiology (H.J.K., J.C., K.H.D. The lung is a preferential site for HTLV-1 infection (118). This is associated with acute lung injury and some hyaline membranes (arrowheads). Hantavirus is another genus of Bunyaviridae; its member viruses exist in the environment because of persistent infection of their hosts, typically rodents, insectivores, and bats. The editor and the reviewers indicated that they have no relevant relationships to disclose. 9, No. Interlobular septal thickening.—Septal thickening may be seen in the presence of interstitial fluid, cellular infiltration, or fibrosis and can have a smooth, nodular, or irregular contour in different pathologic processes. 28, No. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows multinodular airspace opacity (arrows) in the right lung. Adenoviral infections are more common from fall to spring. Figure 3a. A small amount of bilateral pleural effusion (*) is noted. (b) Chest radiograph obtained 3 weeks later shows decreased intensity of irregular consolidation (arrows). All patients with neutropenic fever and normal findings at chest radiography should undergo thin-section computed tomography to determine whether parenchyma abnormalities are present. In May 2015, a large outbreak of MERS coronavirus infection occurred in South Korea, with 186 identified patients and 38 deaths. 3, Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, Vol. Cytopathic respiratory viruses (eg, influenza, adenovirus, and herpesvirus group) cause a virus-specific lung injury pattern. Nevertheless, the findings of CMV infection in patients with AIDS seem to differ from those in patients without AIDS (171). Histologically, CMV has four major patterns of lung involvement: (a) miliary pattern, (b) diffuse interstitial pneumonitis, (c) hemorrhagic pneumonia, and (d) CMV inclusions associated with minimal inflammation of lung injury. After antiviral chemotherapy, imaging findings disappear concurrently with healing of skin lesions (162). 1, 18 December 2012 | Insights into Imaging, Vol. Figure 9b. There are various types of lymphoproliferative disorders associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection, such as lymphomatoid granulomatosis, lymphoma, and posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (31). Case 3. HTLV-1 is an etiologic retrovirus of adult T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (117,119). February 11, 2020 — The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) journal Radiology has published a study from researchers in China, who describe symptoms and computed tomography (CT) imaging findings in 51 patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Nakanishi et al (110) reported that centrilobular nodules, ground-glass opacity, and interlobular septal thickening may indicate a measles-specific, virus-induced pneumonia. 150, No. Herein, we described and summarized the chest CT findings of 122 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and 48 patients with influenza, and tried to explore the radiological … A number of these new viruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus, have been associated with regional outbreaks in the past and could reemerge to produce outbreaks in the future (5). Radiology Department of the Rijnland Hospital, Leiderdorp, the Netherlands. Figure 26: Close-up view of transverse thin-section CT scan obtained with a multidetector unit in a young patient with tracheobronchial papillomatosis shows a small nodule (papilloma) arising from the tracheal wall (arrowhead). Schemas show typical CT patterns of viral pneumonia. Branching or centrilobular nodules and mosaic perfusion are seen in patients with viral bronchiolitis (63,64). In our case (Fig 6), human bocavirus infection manifested as diffuse bilateral patchy consolidation and GGO at chest radiography and patchy consolidation along the bronchovascular bundles with interlobular septal thickening at CT. Chest radiograph obtained 1 day after presentation, when the patient suddenly progressed to having decreased blood pressure, shows pulmonary edema and bilateral pleural effusion (*). Transplantation and long-term corticosteroid therapy are important risk factors. 1, Emerging Microbes & Infections, Vol. Cavitation, calcification, a reticular or nodular pattern of opacification, lymphadenopathy, or pleural effusion are not features of SARS (14). Schemas show typical CT patterns of viral pneumonia. Pneumonia due to HMPV in a 50-year-old woman who presented with fever, cough, and sputum. Figure 12d. (b, c) Axial chest CT images obtained on the same day at the lower trachea level (b) and the interlobar area level (c) show multiple irregular areas of nodular tree-in-bud opacity and patchy consolidations (arrows) along the bronchovascular bundles and mild bronchial wall thickening. Global alert and response (GAR): Pandemic (H1N1) 2009. During the course of disease, pleural effusions and cavitation can also develop (76). Although definitive diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of imaging features alone, the use of a combination of clinical and radiographic findings can substantially improve the accuracy of diagnosis in this disease. Figure 8b. Viral respiratory tract infection is a broad term given to pulmonary infection caused by viruses. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows poorly defined nodules (arrows) and reticular areas of increased opacity in both lungs. 27–29 February 2004, Analytic validation of a quantitative real-time PCR assay to measure CMV viral load in whole blood, Pneumonia in solid organ recipients: spectrum of pathogens in 217 episodes, Cytomegalovirus pneumonitis occurring after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: a study of 106 recipients, Cytomegalovirus pneumonia: high-resolution CT findings in ten non-AIDS immunocompromised patients, Thin-section CT findings in 32 immunocompromised patients with cytomegalovirus pneumonia who do not have AIDS, Cytomegalovirus pneumonitis: spectrum of parenchymal CT findings with pathologic correlation in 21 AIDS patients, Acute respiratory failure and cerebral hemorrhage due to primary Epstein-Barr virus infection, Primary Epstein-Barr virus infection with pneumonia transmitted by allogeneic bone marrow after transplantation, Spectrum of Epstein-Barr virus–associated diseases, Pulmonary manifestations of juvenile laryngotracheal papillomatosis, Laryngeal papillomatosis with pulmonary spread in a 69-year-old man, Virological diagnosis in community-acquired pneumonia in immunocompromised patients, Human parainfluenza virus 4 outbreak and the role of diagnostic tests, Community respiratory virus infections in patients with hematologic malignancies, Community respiratory viruses: organ transplant recipients, Cytomegalovirus infection after bone marrow transplantation in children, Cytomegalovirus pneumonia in adult autologous blood and marrow transplant recipients, The diagnosis of pneumonia in renal transplant recipients using invasive and noninvasive procedures, Herpes simplex virus lower respiratory tract infection in patients with solid tumors, Community respiratory virus infections among hospitalized adult bone marrow transplant recipients, Epidemiology of seasonal influenza: use of surveillance data and statistical models to estimate the burden of disease, Community-acquired pneumonia: the clinical dilemma, Incidence and characteristics of viral community-acquired pneumonia in adults, Update of practice guidelines for the management of community-acquired pneumonia in immunocompetent adults, Respiratory syncytial virus infection in adults, The role of viruses in the aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia in adults, Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society consensus guidelines on the management of community-acquired pneumonia in adults, Introduction: infections caused by emerging resistant pathogens. Figure 2: Histopathologic features of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in a child. Oikonomou et al (65) reviewed the thin-section CT findings in four patients with hematologic malignancies and influenza A pneumonitis and found that the predominant thin-section CT findings were ground-glass opacities, consolidation, centrilobular nodules, and branching linear opacities (Fig 12). 1, No. Information on COVID-19 for medical personnel in radiology department. It is spread by means of direct person-to-person contact between susceptible individuals and those who are asymptomatic Epstein-Barr virus shedders. Figure 1a. 4, No. It is due to material, usually purulent, filling the alveoli. 6, 24 February 2017 | Current Radiology Reports, Vol. The bronchiolitis may be necrotizing and result in a necrotizing bronchopneumonia similar to that seen in severe herpes simplex infection (13) (Fig 2). Adenovirus affects the terminal bronchioles and causes bronchiolitis, which may be accompanied by necrotizing bronchopneumonia. Note.—ARF = acute renal failure, C = common, F = frequent, HCPS = hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndromes, HFRS = hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, LAP = lymphadenopathy, SFTS = severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, UC = uncommon, V = variable. HMPV pneumonia accounts for 4% of community-acquired pneumonia in immunocompetent adults and is prevalent during winter months. Clinically diagnosed infections have been described in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. ■ Review new viruses including HMPV, SARS coronavirus, MERS coronavirus, and H1N1 virus. Hantavirus.—The genus Hantavirus comprises a genetically homogeneous group of enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family Bunyaviridae. Pseudocavitation, pneumatocoele formation, lymphadenopathy, and centrilobular nodules are often seen. 28, No. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows multifocal reticulonodular infiltrations (arrows) in both lungs. It can cause respiratory epithelial cell lysis and effects distal to terminal bronchioles. Note the presence of multiple small branch opacities representing cellular bronchiolitis (arrowheads). Enter your email address below and we will send you the reset instructions. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows multiple irregular nodular peribronchial air spaces or GGO (arrows) in both lungs and a small amount of bilateral pleural effusion. 7, No. The imaging findings of viral pneumonia are diverse and overlap with those of other nonviral infectious and inflammatory conditions. 1, Computers in Biology and Medicine, Vol. CMV is a common human pathogen that usually causes an asymptomatic infection or mild flu-like symptoms in immunocompetent patients. This infection occurs predominantly (46.7%) from June to September. Pneumonia is a potential complication of COVID-19. (b, c) Thin-section (1-mm collimation) axial (b) and coronal (c) reconstructed (5-mm section thickness) chest CT images obtained on the same day show multiple ill-defined centrilobular nodules (arrows) or GGO (arrowheads) along the bronchovascular bundles and mild bronchial wall thickening in both lungs, especially in the right lung. 6, 30 July 2018 | La radiologia medica, Vol. (a) Initial chest radiograph shows extensive patchy consolidation (arrows) with air bronchogram (arrowheads) in both lungs, especially in the middle to lower lung zones. 74, No. It has been considered that clinical history, results of physical examination, and imaging features cannot enable the prediction of the etiologic agent. The most common method is the demonstration of measles virus–specific IgM in a single serum sample, but a more than fourfold titer increase in paired serum samples is also formal proof of a recent measles virus infection. It is the first retrovirus to be associated with human disease (117). In May 1997, an influenza H5N1 virus was isolated from a previously healthy 3-year-old boy in Hong Kong who died of severe pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (77). (a, b) Initial axial chest CT images at the main bronchial level (a) and the interlobar area level (b) show multifocal ill-defined nodular GGO lesions (arrows) along the bronchovascular bundles and mild bronchial wall thickening (arrowheads). The CT manifestations of EBV pneumonia are similar to those of other viral pneumonias. Objective . Figure 7d. ... old films or follow-up films and CT-scan will usually solve the problem. The patient underwent reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction for viral infection with sputum and blood culture and bronchoalveolar lavage to find superimposed infection. Imaging and clinical manifestations of viral pneumonia are protean and not reliably predictive of its origin. 5, No. Influenza A virus can be classified into subtypes on the basis of two surface proteins of the virus, which are the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase, or H and N. Swine influenza caused by influenza type A virus includes subtypes H1N1, H1N2, H2N1, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3. Thickened interlobular septa also are observed. (a, b) Initial axial chest CT images at the main bronchial level (a) and the interlobar area level (b) show multifocal ill-defined nodular GGO lesions (arrows) along the bronchovascular bundles and mild bronchial wall thickening (arrowheads). Pneumonia, although rare, is the most serious complication affecting adults with chickenpox. Pneumonia due to MERS coronavirus in a 27-year-old man who presented with a cough and sputum. 41, No. Case 1. 8, American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. 40, No. The pathology of influenza virus infections, The 1918 Spanish influenza: integrating history and biology, Influenza infections after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: risk factors, mortality, and the effect of antiviral therapy, Human infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus: review of clinical issues, Avian influenza A (H5N1) in 10 patients in Vietnam, The radiologic manifestations of H5N1 avian influenza, Characterization of an avian influenza A (H5N1) virus isolated from a child with a fatal respiratory illness, Outbreak of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in Hong Kong in 1997, Avian influenza virus infections in humans, Writing Committee of the Second World Health Organization Consultation on Clinical Aspects of Human Infection with Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus, Update on avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection in humans, Global epidemiology of human infections with highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses, Human disease from influenza A (H5N1), Thailand, 2004, Severe respiratory disease concurrent with the circulation of H1N1 influenza, Swine flu outbreak. Although some of these patterns may be relatively unique to a specific clinical context, others are nonspecific with respect to either the cause or pathogenesis. (c, d) Follow-up axial chest CT images obtained 10 days later show an increased extent and intensity of lesions and increased irregular consolidation (arrows) along the bronchovascular bundles. (b, c) Thin-section (1-mm collimation) axial (b) and coronal (c) reconstructed (5-mm section thickness) chest CT images obtained on the same day show multiple ill-defined centrilobular nodules (arrows) or GGO (arrowheads) along the bronchovascular bundles and mild bronchial wall thickening in both lungs, especially in the right lung. Ribavirin is multipotent for the treatment of RSV, adenovirus, HPIV, and HMPV. Whereas hypoattenuated areas contain few and small pulmonary vessels (arrows), hyperattenuated areas contain enlarged pulmonary vessels (arrowheads), reflecting the pulmonary blood flow distribution toward normal ventilated areas. (e) Pneumonia due to rhinovirus shows multiple ill-defined patchy areas of GGO (arrows) with interlobular septal thickening (arrowheads) in both lungs. The thin-section CT appearances in varicella pneumonia largely reflect the multicentric hemorrhage and necrosis centered on airways (162). 1, Clinical Nuclear Medicine, Vol. Acute bronchiolitis is a term most often used to describe an illness in infants and children characterized by acute wheezing with concomitant signs of respiratory viral infection (21). Volumetric thin-section CT with thin detectors (0.5–0.625 mm) has become the routine in many institutions. Viral infections of the respiratory tract include both those considered to be principal respiratory viruses, whose replication is generally restricted to the respiratory tract, and others whose respiratory involvement is part of a generalized infection. Occasionally, lesions may calcify and persist as well-defined, randomly scattered, 2–3-mm densely calcified nodules (17) (Fig 24). Pneumonia due to HPIV in a 22-year-old woman who presented with fever and had undergone haploidentical bone marrow transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia 1 month before infection. CMV.—CMV is a DNA virus and a member of the Herpesviridae family, which includes varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and EBV. Fatal influenza pneumonia represents a necrotizing bronchiolitis with diffuse alveolar damage, which can be hemorrhagic. 206, No. Case 2. 29, No. Aims and objectives: To describe and compare the radiologic findings of patients with bacterial (BP) vs those with viral pneumonia (VP).
