Abstract

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are ubiquitous but highly species-specific agents which commonly infect many animals, including humans. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia has been one of the most important opportunistic infections in the immunocompromised host for those who have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or who have received kidney, bone marrow or other organs. Cytomegalovirus infection has been known to be associated with congenital, infantile and adult nephrotic syndrome. We report a rare case of CMV pneumonia with nephrotic syndrome in a 62-year-old female who recovered fully with ganciclovir.
