What are the types of lung viral infections

Viral lung infection can be said to be a very serious problem, so in daily life, we should pay special attention to the prevention of these viral infections, and understand the types of viral lung infections. Common ones are bacterial pneumonia, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Staphylococcus aureus and group A hemolytic streptococcal infections. We should pay attention to this infection, discover it in time and take timely treatment measures.

1. Etiological classification

1. Bacterial pneumonia such as Streptococcus pneumoniae (i.e. pneumococcus), Staphylococcus aureus, Type alpha hemolytic Streptococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.

2. Pneumonia caused by atypical pathogens such as Legionella, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia.

3. Viral pneumonia such as coronavirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, etc.

4. Fungal pneumonia such as Candida albicans, Aspergillus, Actinomycetes, etc.

5. Pneumonia caused by other pathogens such as Rickettsia, Toxoplasma, protozoa, parasites such as Echinococcosis, Paragonimus, Schistosoma japonicum, etc. People with low immunity (such as AIDS patients) are prone to pulmonary infections such as Pneumococcus carinii, Legionella, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Toxoplasma.

6. Pneumonia caused by physical and chemical factors, such as radiation pneumonia, chemical pneumonia caused by gastric acid aspiration, drugs, etc.

7.Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

2. Disease Examination

1. Pay attention to whether there is inhalation injury, tracheotomy or intubation, aspiration, pulmonary edema, atelectasis, shock, surgical anesthesia, invasive wound infection, suppurative thrombophlebitis, etc.

2. Pay attention to any breathing difficulties, temperature changes, cough, increased sputum volume and sputum characteristics. Clinical symptoms should be differentiated from burn toxemia or sepsis.

3. Physical examination. Patients with severe burns often have burns on their chests, making it difficult to obtain accurate chest signs. Therefore, careful examination should be performed to check for any respiratory changes or rales.

4. To identify the infecting bacteria, airway secretion cultures should be performed regularly, preferably bronchopulmonary lavage fluid cultures, to prevent contamination.
