A man had an acute onset of the disease. He complained of chills, fever of 40°C, headache, cough, and dyspnea. The man died on the 5th day after the onset. Autopsy shows enlarged lungs with variegated appearance — «large variegated lung». Such clinical presentation of the lungs is characteristic of the following disease:
- A. Adenovirus infection
- B. Croupous pneumonia
- C. Bronchiectasis
- D. Respiratory syncytial infection
- E. Influenza
Hint
Think of a severe acute viral respiratory infection with high fever in which haemorrhagic and necrotic foci alternate with emphysema, giving the lung a mottled look.
