title: [Risk factors for the occurrence of pneumonia caused by cytomegaloviruses in patients with bone marrow transplants during prevention with cytomegalovirus hyperimmune globulin].
abstract: After bone marrow transplantation (BMT) transient combined immunodeficiency occurs which promotes the occurrence of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, the most frequent lethal complication at present. 28 patients received a CMV-IgG-hyperimmunoglobulin (CMV-IG) intravenously as CMV-prophylaxis. The efficacy of this treatment and the risk factors for the occurrence of interstitial pneumonia (IP) caused by CMV were analyzed. Risk factors promoting a CMV-IP were: immunosuppression after BMT, CMV-seropositivity of recipient and donor, granulocyte transfusions and HLA-mismatched BMT. In this study graft versus host disease did not influence the occurrence of CMV-IP.
