Pneumonia, along with graft-versus-host disease, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients receiving bone marrow transplantation. The community respiratory virus infections have been found to be large causes of pneumonia. Upper respiratory infection with Parainfluenza virus can progress to severe lower respiratory diseases in bone marrow transplant recipients, of which clinical findings are similar to those of pneumonia by exotic opportunistic pathogens. We report a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia who had suffered a community-acquired pneumonia by Parainfluenza virus type 3 after bone marrow transplantation. |
