A rapid antigen test for influenza using the throat swab was negative again, and thus, the patient was considered to have acute interstitial pneumonia based on chest radiological findings (Figure 1), and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) as well as transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) was performed (Figure 2A, demonstrating a diffuse alveolar damage compatible with acute interstitial pneumonia).
Transbronchial lung biopsy (A) and rapid diagnostic test for influenza A Transbronchial biopsy specimen demonstrates the formation of a hyaline membrane which is compatible with acute interstitial pneumonia. Rapid diagnostic test for influenza A was positive using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
