Explain the dyspnea in patients with viral pneumonia, where the alveoli is not filled with exudates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still alveoli damage: great ? but the inflammatory response in the alveoli is similar whether due to viral or bacterial infection. fluid still fills the alveoli and thus impairs gas exchange by impairing diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary membrane.
