Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV and post-transplant patients, and is rare in patients with autoimmune diseases treated with immunosppressive therapy. We report the first case of a patient with Cytoplasmic anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies positive glomerulonephritis who developed CMV pneumonitis after treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisone. The CMV infection developed simultaneously with bacterial respiratory infection. All symptoms resolved rapidly under treatment with gancyclovir and immunoglobulins.
