[Radiologic and clinical analysis of pneumonia caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) in patients after kidney transplantation].
An analysis included 15 patients followed-up for 1.5 years. An infection with CMV was confirmed with clinical and laboratory tests. No radiological changes in chest X-ray were found in 5 patients. Interstitial lesions with micronodular dissemination in lower lung fields were seen in 2 (22.2%) out of the remaining patients, peribronchitis in 2 (22.4%) patients, segmentary pneumonia in 4 (44.4%) patients, and bronchopneumonia was found in 1 (11.1%) patient. Features of subsegmentary streaky atelectasis were noted in 4 of these patients. Streaky atelectasis as a sole symptom of CMV infection occurred in 1 patient. The obtained results indicate that streaky atelectasis may be a sole sign of pulmonary infection with CMV. It was also found that such an infection may be radiologically asymptomatic.
