Which infectious agents are associated with lung infection?5 answersRespiratory viral infections, including severe respiratory viral infections, can lead to secondary bacterial and fungal infections in the lungs. In particular, Aspergillus fumigatus, a filamentous mold, has been identified as a common secondary fungal infection in patients with severe respiratory viral infections. Other infectious agents associated with lung infections include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Pneumocystis carinii, melioidosis, coccidioidomycosis, Candida spp., and other fungal pathogens. These infections can occur in immunocompromised individuals or in patients with underlying diseases. It is important to consider these infectious agents when diagnosing and treating lung infections, especially in patients who have recently traveled to foreign countries. Molecular diagnostic techniques, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), have been used to detect and identify these infectious agents in the lungs.
