title: [Influenza B virus pneumonia after bone marrow transplantation: case report with emphasis to the high resolution computed tomography findings].
abstract: Nine year-old male patient, who underwent bone marrow transplantation because of acute myelogenous leukemia, presented with fever and dry cough three days after the procedure. The chest radiograph demonstrated bilateral diffuse reticular infiltrate. The high resolution computed tomography showed peribronchovascular interstitial thickening, peripheral small centrilobular nodules and areas of ground-glass attenuation. The bronchoalveolar lavage demonstrated positive direct fluorescence antibody testing against influenza B virus. Treatment with aerolizated ribavirin was instituted during 10 days and the patient showed clinical-radiological improvement.
