Human Metapneumovirus with Organizing Pneumonia

Imaging findings

Widespread ground-glass opacities with a peripheral distribution and sharp medial margins, indicative of an organizing pneumonia pattern. Denser basal consolidation is also noted.

Key takeaways

Organizing pneumonia is a common radiological pattern in viral infections (notably seen in previous H1N1 outbreaks). It is important to distinguish this from heart failure-related edema when a patient has a large heart.
