We describe a male patient who presents 2 years posttransplant with cough and dyspnea. A negative pulmonary workup led to an endomyocardial biopsy and the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) myocarditis. The patient was treated with ganciclovir and intravenous immunoglobulin. This illustrates a very late presentation of posttransplant CMV myocarditis and the usefulness of myocardial biopsy in diagnosis of CMV carditis.
我们描述了一名男性患者,他在移植后2年出现咳嗽和呼吸困难。肺部检查结果为阴性,随后进行了心内膜心肌活检,诊断为巨细胞病毒(CMV)心肌炎。该患者接受了更昔洛韦和静脉注射免疫球蛋白治疗。这例病例说明了移植后CMV心肌炎非常晚期的表现以及心肌活检在CMV心肌炎诊断中的作用。
