Coronavirus HKU 1 infection with bronchiolitis, pericardial effusion and acute respiratory failure in obese adult female

Abstract: Seven species of coronavirus cause acute respiratory illness in humans. Coronavirus HKU 1 (CoV HKU 1) was first described in 2005 in an adult patient with pneumonia in Hong Kong. Although it is a well-known respiratory tract pathogen, there is not much information about its role in hospitalized adults, especially in southern Europe. Here, we describe a case of radiologically demonstrated CoV HKU 1-related bronchiolitis with acute respiratory failure in an adult female without significant comorbidities except o… Show more

“…92 In contrast, HKU1 was found to cause a respiratory infection in an adult associated with pericardial effusion. 190 In any event, the frequency of these unusual complications is quite uncommon, at least based on their isolated publications. The low frequency of publication, however, could be attributed to the difficulty of finding coronaviruses in respiratory samples prior to the advent of molecular biology improvements in genetic amplification.…”
