Viral and Mycoplasma Pneumonias

Postgraduate Medicine, 1974
Influenza and infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae are common nonbacterial causes of pneumonia. Pneumonia also sometimes occurs as a complication of a viral infection such as varicella. This article describes the clinical picture seen with each type of infection and gives current recommendations for prophylaxis and therapy.

Epidemic viral pneumonia

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2010
Two recent viral epidemics producing pneumonitis (severe acute respiratory syndrome and pandemic influenza A H1N1) have highlighted the potential for viral infections to cause respiratory failure with a significant risk of mortality. This review describes these epidemics and other causes of epidemic viral pneumonia.The recent literature highlights the ...

Imaging of Pulmonary Viral Pneumonia [PDF]

Radiology, 2011
Imaging and clinical manifestations of viral pneumonia are protean and not reliably predictive of its origin. All patients with neutropenic fever and normal findings at chest radiography should undergo thin-section computed tomography to determine whether parenchyma abnormalities are present.

Pneumonia with bacterial and viral coinfection

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2017
Purpose of review We aim to review the epidemiology of pneumonia with bacterial and viral coinfection, the pathogenesis and clinical impact of coinfection along with the current state of treatment and outcomes. Recent findings Emphasis is given to the pathogenesis of bacterial and ...

Mycoplasmal, viral, and rickettsial pneumonias

Seminars in Roentgenology, 1980
Of the variety of mycoplasma species, the smallest of free living organisms, only M. pneumoniae (Eaton agent) produces respiratory infections. These include pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, pharyngitis, and in 20% of cases, asymptomatic invasion. M. pneumoniae is one of a variety of organisms, including viruses, rickettsiae, and chlamydiae (psittacosis ...

Viral and bacterial interactions in pneumonia

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2010
Respiratory tract infections are the most common infectious illnesses that afflict humans. In general, viral infections of the upper respiratory tract result in mild self-limiting symptoms. However, more serious lower respiratory tract infections can lead to the development of pneumonia.

Mycoplasma and Viral Pneumonia

2019
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and viruses remain among the most common causes of community acquired pneumonia (CAP), and account for approximately 30% or more of all cases. M. pneumoniae is a bacterium that lacks a cell wall, which results in certain microbiologic features absent in other bacteria.

Viral and Mycoplasmal Pneumonias

Diseases of the Chest, 1964
SUMMARY The discovery of many filtrable microbes that cause acute minor respiratory tract infections and their component pneumonias solved many diagnostic and epidemiologic problems, but raised others in regard to prevention and treatment. The separation of mycoplasmal, bedsonial and coxiellar pneumonias from those of viral origin placed antimicrobic ...

ATYPICAL, VIRAL PNEUMONIA OR VIROID PNEUMONIA?

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1945
To the Editor:— It is fortunate that lymphocytic choriomeningitis, first called aseptic meningitis, was not called atypical meningitis, or that epidemic nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (The Journal, January 6, p. 1) was never called atypical dysentery.

VIRAL PNEUMONIAS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1956
Specific viral pneumonias are recognized parts of influenza, vaccinia, or measles and of diseases of suspected viral origin such as infectious mononucleosis. Yet the view that a similar circumstance may pertain to the pneumonias found at times in patients with banal viral infections of the upper respiratory tract has not been generally accepted ...
