Cytomegalovirus pneumonia in a renal transplant patient

Discussion:

Microbiology post bronchoscopy was positive for cytomegalovirus infection. No TB or atypical mycobacteria was isolated, with no evidence of PCP seen in the bronchial washing specimens.

The typical findings seen in CMV pneumonitis on CT are:

  • multiple nodules
  • areas of peripheral consolidation predominantly involving the lung bases
