Serious viral infections requiring intensive care generally occur in immunocompromised patients and in those patients with underlying cardiopulmonary disease. However, occasional cases may occur in normal hosts. This article reviews the serious viral diseases that are commonly encountered in the adult ICU, including viral pneumonia, encephalitis, and hepatitis, and focuses on diagnostic techniques and management principles. A separate section is devoted to cytomegalovirus infection, given the prominent role that this virus plays in the immunocompromised host receiving intensive care.
需要重症监护的严重病毒感染通常发生在免疫功能低下的患者以及患有潜在心肺疾病的患者中。然而，正常宿主中也可能偶尔出现病例。本文回顾了成人重症监护病房中常见的严重病毒性疾病，包括病毒性肺炎、脑炎和肝炎，并重点介绍了诊断技术和管理原则。鉴于巨细胞病毒在接受重症监护的免疫功能低下宿主中所起的突出作用，单独设立了一个章节来讨论巨细胞病毒感染。
