Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Focus on Viral Origin and Role of Pulmonary Lymphatics

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious affection of the lung caused by a variety of pathologies. Great interest is currently focused on ARDS induced by viruses (pandemic influenza and corona viruses). The review describes pulmonary changes in ARDS and specific effects of the pandemi...
