Influenza patients who are given steroids after ICU admission, who have WBCs of greater than 10*109 /L on ICU admission, and whose CT imaging shows multiple nodules and cavities might have a high risk of IPA. Higher SOFA scores, CD4+ T cell counts lower than 200 cells/μL on ICU admission and more ECMO requirement might be predictors of a poor prognosis.
