Brief Answer:
please see details

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
1. The presence of diabetes, asthma and Mitral stenosis (leading to CHF) are predisposing factors for parainfluenza pneumonia. These illnesses predispose to infection due to immunocompromised state they induce. Hence they are important for occurrence of this infection. However, the infection may occur even in their absence; so it can not be definitely called a sequel to Diabetes or CHF. They can perpetuate but do not cause of infection.
2. The secondary diagnosis of fluid overload and AF with RVR is a direct result of mitral stenosis.
Hope this clarify the issue.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
