Not viruses this time, but bacteria: pathogens like Streptococcus Pneumoniae or Staphylococcus aureus would invade the damaged lungs, causing cases of aggressive bronchopneumonia.
Bronchopneumonia is spread throughout the lungs, atypical or interstitial pneumonia happens interstitium around the alveoli, and lobar pneumonia usually infects an entire lobe of the lung.
For example, for the same disease, the registration name in one hospital's system may be " pulmonary infection" , while in another hospital's system, it may be " bronchopneumonia" .
This time though it tends to cavitate or form cavities which can allow the bacteria to disseminate or spread through the airways and lymphatic channels to other parts of the lungs which can cause bronchopneumonia.
