Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are DNA viruses and are members of the Herpesviridae family. Morphologically, CMV resembles other herpes viruses, particularly herpes simplex viruses, with important cytopathic differences. CMVs are recognized pathogens that cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in compromised hosts, such as, those who undergo transplants and those on immunosuppressive drugs or steroids. This article discusses the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapy for this viral CAP.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)是一种 DNA 病毒,属于疱疹病毒科。从形态学上看,CMV 与其他疱疹病毒相似,特别是单纯疱疹病毒,但具有重要的细胞病变差异。CMV 是公认的病原体,可导致移植患者和接受免疫抑制药物或类固醇治疗的患者等免疫功能低下宿主发生社区获得性肺炎(CAP)。本文讨论了这种病毒性 CAP 的临床表现、诊断和治疗。
