summary

Recently, it's not a big deal. My body is always light, and I often feel dizzy. Occasionally, I have a fever, and I have been coughing, especially at night. I went to the hospital for examination, and then I knew it was viral pneumonia. Now let's talk about what is viral pneumonia.

What is viral pneumonia

First: the clinical manifestations of the disease are generally mild, similar to the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia, with slow onset, headache, fatigue, fever, cough, and cough with a small amount of mucus sputum. The signs are often absent. X-ray examination shows that the pulmonary inflammation is patchy, patchy or even shadow, and the total number of white blood cells can be normal, reduced or slightly increased.

Second: viral pneumonia is caused by upper respiratory tract virus infection and downward spread of lung inflammation. The disease can occur all year round, but mostly in winter and spring, can break out or sporadic epidemic. The main clinical manifestations were fever, headache, body ache, dry cough and lung infiltration.

Third: in patients with immune deficiency, viral pneumonia is often more serious, with persistent high fever, palpitations, shortness of breath, cyanosis, extreme failure, can be accompanied by shock, heart failure and azotemia. Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) may occur in severe cases due to the edema of alveolar interstitium and alveoli.
