流感病毒感染是一种主要的呼吸道传染病，一般会引起肺炎。流感病毒感染和社区获得性肺炎（CAP）的临床表现在老年人和年轻人之间存在差异。为了确定流感相关性肺炎的临床特征，我们研究了21例流感相关性肺炎成人患者，这些患者的流感病毒抗原检测结果呈阳性。在就诊时，较高年龄的流感相关肺炎患者（≥ 75岁：n = 12）的体温低于较低年龄的患者（
Influenza virus infection is a major respiratory infectious disease that generally induces pneumonia. The clinical manifestations of influenza virus infection and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) differ between elderly persons and younger adults. To determine the clinical features of influenza-associated pneumonia, we studied 21 adult patients with influenza-associated pneumonia, as indicated by positive test results for influenza virus antigen. At presentation, the higher-age patients (>= 75 years: n = 12) with influenza-associated pneumonia had lower body temperature than did the lower-age (
