[Cytomegalic disease as a cause of disseminated lung lesions in an immunosuppressed patient].

A case of disseminated lesions in the lungs was diagnosed just during autopsy as cytomegalic infection. 54-year old patient treated since 10 years because of lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma of low malignancy was admitted to Institute of Tuberculosis with suspicion of miliary tuberculosis. The high temperature, pemphigus--like skin lesions and disseminated lesions in the chest X-ray appeared immediately after succeeding chemotherapy. Tuberculous bacilli. Aspergillus fumigatus and Pneumocystis carinii were not found in examined materials (BALF, blood, urine, skin and mucous lesions). Patient died after 3 days and typical lesions of cytomegalovirus infection were found only after autopsy in macroscopic picture of the lungs.
