Abstract
Adenoviruses are increasingly recognized as important pathogens following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We herein report two cases of disseminated adenovirus infection that presented with nodular shadows on chest X-ray after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from unrelated donors. Both patients died of respiratory failure. Autopsies revealed adenovirus infection of multiple organs. Adenovirus infection should be suspected when nodular lung lesions of unknown origin appear in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients.
