Abstract

Introduction: Viral pathogens have been reported increasingly in pneumonia patients. There are few studies in Turkey on viral and atypical bacterial etiology in adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). In this study, it was aimed to determine atypical and viral pathogens in patients with pneumonia requiring ICU and to research clinical progression.
