title: [Cytomegalovirus pneumonia in primarily healthy adults].
abstract: The case is reported of an 18-year-old woman hospitalized with severe dyspnea and high temperature. Chest X-ray showed pneumonia with interstitial and air-space consolidation patterns. Serologic tests revealed a cytomegalovirus infection (CMV). The blood findings showed anemia of infectious origin. Liver biopsy was consistent with CMV-hepatitis. CMV-pneumonia in an otherwise healthy patient is extremely rare; a review of the literature revealed only four other cases.
