Bronchopneumonia Radiating Across All Pulmonary Lobes From the Hilum Caused by Human Metapneumovirus.

Abstract

This human metapneumovirus pneumonia case, mimicking bacterial pneumonia, exhibited distinct features, including contact with a cold patient and CT findings of multilobar airway-centric opacities with bronchial wall thickening. Even if point-of-care viral testing becomes widely available, recognising cases that warrant such tests remains crucial for improving community-acquired pneumonia management.
