On April 2009 a new A (H1N1) influenza virus was identified with a higher incidence of severe outcome in younger people, most of them with pneumonia. The objective of our study was to identify the predictive risk factors of pneumonia in patients with the new A (H1N1) influenza virus infection. ⋯ Obesity, delay in medical care and higher levels of C reactive protein and IgG2 were predictive factors for pneumonia in adult patients with A (H1N1) influenza infection.
