An unusual case of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) pneumonia in a heart transplant recipient receiving chronic immunosuppressive therapy is reported. This infection presented an indolent course manifested by a chronic left pulmonary infiltrate unresponsive to antibiotic therapy and mild hypoxemia. Death eventually occurred as a consequence of an other infectious complication of the postoperative period. The HSV etiology of the necrotizing pneumonia observed at autopsy was established on the basis of histologic findings.
报告了一例心脏移植受者在接受慢性免疫抑制治疗时发生单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)肺炎的罕见病例。这种感染呈现出一种隐匿的病程,表现为对抗生素治疗无反应的慢性左肺浸润和轻度低氧血症。最终,患者因术后的其他感染并发症而死亡。尸检时观察到的坏死性肺炎的HSV病因是根据组织学检查结果确定的。
