| description | Flu is a highly contagious, acute respiratory disease that may spread easily. Influenza viruses are the only agent of the flu. These viruses are known to cause pneumonia and mortality especially in immunocompromised patients. In this report, two influenza pneumonia cases were reported. The first case was a 22 years old women with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving immunosupressive treatment. The second case was a 76 years old women. In this paper we aimed to emphasize the importance of influenza viruses in community- acquired pneumonia especially in immunocompromised and/or elderly patient populations. |
