Virus infection is a common cause of lung injury and can result in lung fibrosis in severe case. Furthermore, virus infection is an important trigger of exacerbation in the disease with lung fibrosis. Whereas, nearly all the cases or cases series reports focused on the adult population rather than pediatric population. Here, we reported three cases of virus infection induced exacerbations of lung injury and fibrosis in the children with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Also, this is one of the first article to report virus infection induced lung injury and fibrosis in children.
