The authors showed that HSV bronchopneumonitis, defined as clinical VAP suspicion, HSV detection in BAL fluid and HSV-specific nuclear inclusions in cells recovered during BAL, was frequent in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, was associated with virus reactivation in the throat, oral- labial lesion and macroscopic bronchial lesions, and seems to have a true impact on the outcome.

The authors showed that among 100 patients with unexplained, persistent ARDS, open-lung biopsy provided a contributive result in 78% of patients with a negative BAL. Among those, Cytomegalovirus was identified as the possible cause in 30 patients.

The authors screened 496 respiratory specimens from nine pneumonia patient populations for Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. This virus was not detected in any specimen, casting some doubt on its role in the pathogenesis of nosocomial viral pneumonia.
