Concurrent cytomegalovirus and Coxsackie B virus infections in a heart-lung transplant recipient.

A 35-year-old woman with fibrosing alveolitis was given a combined heart and lung transplant at Papworth Hospital, Cambridge. Although her immediate post-operative course was satisfactory, she subsequently experienced concurrent primary cytomegalovirus and Coxsackie B virus infections associated with significant morbidity including pancreatitis. She made a full recovery and has remained well for more than 2 years after transplantation.
