Indeed, using nucleic acid amplification test such as multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR), these pathogens have been shown highly prevalent (20-56%) in large cohorts of adult patients admitted to the ICU for all-cause ARF [7, 8] , community-acquired pneumonia [9, 10] , hospitalacquired pneumonia [11] , acute exacerbation of COPD [12, 13] , and asthma [14] , compared to asymptomatic adults [15, 16] . We investigated whether a respiratory virus-associated infection Table 2 Causative diagnosis of acute respiratory failure in 123 HIV-infected patients admitted to the ICU Data are presented as number (%).
