Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6)-associated encephalitis or pneumonitis has been reported in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. Several MRI studies in patients with HHV-6-associated encephalitis have been presented. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies describing thin-section CT imaging in patients with HHV-6-associated pneumonitis have been reported. Here we describe a case of HHV-6-associated encephalitis and pneumonitis that developed after bone marrow transplantation. Thin-section CT images of the chest revealed ground-glass attenuation, consolidation and centrilobular nodules in both lungs.
人疱疹病毒 6 型（HHV-6）相关脑炎或肺炎已在免疫功能正常和免疫抑制个体中报告。已经有几项关于 HHV-6 相关脑炎患者的 MRI 研究。然而，据我们所知，尚未有研究描述 HHV-6 相关肺炎患者的薄层 CT 成像。在这里，我们描述了一例骨髓移植后发生的 HHV-6 相关脑炎和肺炎。胸部薄层 CT 图像显示双肺磨玻璃影衰减、实变和小叶中心结节。
