- RSV
- Adenovirus
- Human metapneumovirus
- Middle East respiratory syndrome virus (MERS-CoV)
- Rhinovirus
Fungi
- Cryptococcus spp.
- Histoplasma capsulatum
- Coccidioides
Clinically-important but uncommon organisms
- Legionella species
- Influenza A and B, including avian influenza A H5N1 and avian influenza A H7N9
