Hi, thank you for posting.
I think that the virus affected his lungs. This is a complicated viral infection but it is the possibility of bacterial infection.
To verify lungs condition you need those test:
-Lungs X-ray.
-Blood test.
-Urine test.
After you get the result your husband will get an antibiotic treatment.
You should contact a pulmonologist.
Take Care.
