Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) frequently is observed in immunocompromised hosts. The aim of this study was to report cases of ventilator-associated CMV pneumonia diagnosed by pathologic examination in intensive care patients without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or hematologic malignancy or who were not receiving immunosuppressive agents. From June 1, 1989, to May 31, 1994, 2,785 patients were hospitalized. During the study period, 60 autopsies and 26 open-lung biopsies were performed in nonimmunocompromised patients who were seen with acute respiratory failure and/or symptoms suggestive of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Cytomegalovirus pneumonia was diagnosed using pulmonary samples by the identification of large cells with large nuclei containing a basophilic or eosinophilic inclusion surrounded by a light halo. These typical findings always were associated with a diffuse interstitial pneumonitis. Cytomegalovirus pneumonia was diagnosed after histologic examination in 25 patients. The reason for admission to the intensive care unit was major surgery in 13 patients and medical problems in 12 patients. Ventilator-associated CMV pneumonia was diagnosed by histologic examination 22.4 +/- 8.8 days after admission to the intensive c...Continue Reading
