What type of CBRNE agent causes initial symptoms that are flu-like in nature and progress to severe respiratory distress?

Biological may be the answer you are looking for. CBRNe stands for agents used for warfare (biological warfare is an example). The acronym stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and the "e" stands for enhanced (improvised) explosives. Biological agents usually are those that cause the symptoms mentioned in the question. However, there are some chemicals that can cause those symptoms from exposure as well, although they are less frequently found.
