Clinical Practice of Respiratory Virus Diagnostics in Critically Ill Patients with a Suspected Pneumonia: a Prospective Observational Study

Highlights • Guidelines are unclear which ICU patients should be tested for respiratory viruses. • Less than half of ICU patients with CAP or HAP are tested for viral pathogens. • In ICU patients who were tested, the prevalence of viral infections is 16-34%. • There is room for increasing routine te...

Summary:Highlights • Guidelines are unclear which ICU patients should be tested for respiratory viruses. • Less than half of ICU patients with CAP or HAP are tested for viral pathogens. • In ICU patients who were tested, the prevalence of viral infections is 16-34%. • There is room for increasing routine testing of influenza virus in CAP and HAP
