The H7N9 influenza virus made headlines recently, with
outbreaks in Chinese urban centers. These infections continue a recent trend of novel virus outbreaks, such as those
involving SARS coronavirus and the H1N1 influenza virus.
These outbreaks have been likened to tropical storms, and
like prior ?viral storms? the latest H7N9 influenza virus has
aroused public panic despite the fact that H7N9 infection
rates are sporadic. At the same time, other more common
ones (such as adenovirus) can lead to much more likely pathology. Recently we admitted two patients with severe
adenovirus pneumonias in ARDS; both of them ICU-level
care, mechanical ventilation and special positioning to
maintain their oxygenation.
