Herpes simplex virus (HSV) lower respiratory tract infections in adults are uncommon. We present a case of HSV bronchiolitis and pneumonitis in an immunocompetent individual, likely linked to chronic habitual marijuana use and a herpetic orolabial ulcer. The case serves as a reminder to consider HSV as a potential unusual cause of lower respiratory tract infection/inflammation in individuals with chronic habitual marijuana use.
单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）引起的成人下呼吸道感染并不常见。我们报告一例免疫功能正常个体发生的HSV细支气管炎和肺炎病例，可能与长期习惯性吸食大麻及唇疱疹性溃疡有关。该病例提醒我们，对于长期习惯性吸食大麻的个体，应考虑HSV作为下呼吸道感染/炎症潜在的不常见病因。
