Abstract
- Objective In this study, we describe the chest computed tomography findings of influenza virus-associated pneumonia in adult patients. Methods Our retrospective study included 12 adult patients who had proven influenza virus - associated pneumonia. Results Out of 12 patients, six were diagnosed as having pure influenza virus pneumonia, five as having bronchopneumonia caused by bacteria associated with influenza A infection, and one as having a cryptogenic organizing pneumonia associated with influenza A infection. Conclusion Radiographic findings of influenza virus pneumonia in adult patients consist of ground-glass attenuation. Localized patchy consolidations were observed in cases of bronchopneumonia.
