ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Reactivation of cytomegalovirus is more common in lymphoma patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but reactivation of cytomegalovirus due to chemotherapy for lymphoma has rarely been reported. We report a case of a lymphoma patient with secondary pulmonary fungal infection and cytomegalovirus infection after chemotherapy, which ultimately led to organizing pneumonia.METHODS:
Percutaneous lung biopsy, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).RESULTS:
NGS examination suggestive of cytomegalovirus infection, percutaneous lung biopsy suggests the presence of organizing pneumonia. The patient was discharged after a combination of antifungal and antiviral treatment with posaconazole, ganciclovir, and anti-inflammatory treatment with methylprednisolone.CONCLUSIONS:
In patients with lymphoma, one should be alert for fungal and viral infections of the lungs when lung related clinical manifestations occur. Patients with persistent unrelieved symptoms after treatment should undergo lung biopsy or bronchoscopy to obtain pathologic tissue for definitive diagnosis.
