Key result
In deceased patients with ARDS complicating community-acquired pneumonia, viral-bacterial co-infection was present in 65.6% of cases, with morphological features dominated by acute diffuse alveolar damage and purulent inflammation.

In fatal cases of community-acquired pneumonia with ARDS, extrapulmonary organ damage, including cardiac lesions, is primarily non-specific and secondary to systemic inflammation.

Svetlitskaya et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Community-acquired pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (n=151). Viral and bacterial respiratory infections was evaluated on Morphological characteristics of inner organs lesion. In deceased patients with ARDS complicating community-acquired pneumonia, viral-bacterial co-infection was present in 65.6% of cases, with morphological features dominated by acute diffuse alveolar damage and purulent inflammation.
