Mixed alveolar interstitial pneumonia is a much-feared complication in bone marrow transplant recipients because it carries a high mortality. Many cases in which an etiological agent is identified are due to fungi or cytomegalovirus; rarely, other infectious agents such as Pneumocystis carinii or (para)influenzavirus are involved. In this report we describe a patient who received intense chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation for relapse of testis seminoma and who developed a severe alveolar interstitial pneumonia caused by respiratory syncytial virus in the early posttransplant period. The patient fully recovered after treatment with ribavirin.
混合性肺泡间质肺炎是骨髓移植受者中一种令人恐惧的并发症,因为其死亡率很高。许多已确定病原体的病例是由真菌或巨细胞病毒引起的;很少有其他感染因子如卡氏肺孢子虫或(副)流感病毒参与其中。在本报告中,我们描述了一名患者,他因睾丸精原细胞瘤复发接受了强化化疗,随后进行了自体骨髓移植,并在移植后早期发生了由呼吸道合胞病毒引起的严重肺泡间质肺炎。该患者在接受利巴韦林治疗后完全康复。
