Viral pneumonia
SpecialtyInfectious disease, respirology

Viral pneumonia is a pneumonia caused by a virus. Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in one or both of the lungs. The pulmonary alveoli fill with fluid or pus making it difficult to breathe.[1] Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites.[1] Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children, while in adults bacteria are a more common cause.[2]
