Q

List the 3 steps in the general mechanism of disease/ infection seen in viral pneumonia?

A
  • attachment to respiratory epithelium
  • viral replication causes cell death and inflammation
  • resulting damage and impairment of local defenses (mucociliary clearance) can predispose to bacterial superinfections
