In contrast to the regular seasonal flu viruses, the H1N1virus exhibits an ability to infect cells deep in the lungs, where it can cause pneumonia and, in severe cases, death. Seasonal viruses typically infect only cells in the upper respiratory system.

the virus causes the lungs to be inflamed, so it makes it difficult to breathe and your lungs fill with fluid , which it makes it difficult for oxygen to be brought to the cells in your body, which can cause all other types of complications

Ebola is found in semen for months after full recovery.

Ebola is not a disease of the reproductive system, but in its end stage, it does cause numerous systems of the body to shut down. This virus, if allowed to go untreated, leads to high fever, severe vomiting, diarrhea, breathing problems, an inability to absorb nutrients, etc. But if effectively treated, there is no current scientific data that suggests a Survivor will have problems with the reproductive organs.

Ebola can cause bleeding in the lungs. That could cause enough damage that a person would go into respiratory distress.
