title: Isolation of cytomegalovirus from the lung tissue of patients with intrapulmonary neoplasma.
abstract: Cytomegalovirus in the lung tissue was detected by demonstrating cytopathic effects on culture of fibroblasts. Three clinical features were common to patients in whose lung tissue cytomegalovirus was identified: (1) They had lung cancer. (2) They were on a high dose of prednisolone. (3) There were diffuse shadows on their chest x-ray film.
