Summary
We report acute cytomegalovirus pneumonitis in a patient with LYG. In May 2005, a 40-year-old woman with no history of systemic disease had experienced intermittent dry cough for 1 month. Chest CT scan showed more nodules in both lungs (Figure, panel A). The patient was HIV negative, and her bone marrow showed no evidence of lymphoma. Rituximab was prescribed; dyspnea dramatically improved after 1 day, and she could tolerate room air without oxygen support.
