Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed patients. CMV infection is mostly encountered in children undergoing highdose chemotherapy and transplantation. Though the chemotherapy for solid tumor is an immunosuppressed state, CMV infection has been reported infrequently in children with solid tumors. In this paper, a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma who was treated with conventional chemotherapy and developed CMV pneumonia is presented. The patient was treated with intravenous ganciclovir in the pediatric intensive care unit, but died one week later.

Abstract

Sitomegalovirüs (CMV) enfeksiyonu bağışıklığı baskılanmış hastalarda morbidite ve mortalitenin önemli bir nedenidir. Solid tümör kemoterapisi bağışıklığı baskılayan bir durum olmasına rağmen, sitomegalovirüs hastalığı bildirilmesi sık değildir. CMV enfeksiyonu daha çok yüksek doz tedavi ve transplantasyon geçiren hastalarda bildirilmektedir. Bu yazıda konvansiyonel kemoterapi gören ve sitomegalovirüs pnömonisi gelişen nöroblastom tanılı bir hasta sunulmaktadır. Hasta pediatrik yoğun bakım biriminde intravenöz gansiklovir ile tedavi edildi. Ancak bir hafta sonra hasta kaybedildi.
