Computed tomography manifestations of a case of varicella zoster virus (VZV) pneumonia

Disseminated VZV infections is rare in healthy adults. Several studies have reported VZV reactivation and eruption happens in an immunocompromised host especially after solid organ transplantation. Nonetheless, diffuse bilateral lung VZV infections is also rare. We report a case of disseminated VZV...

description Disseminated VZV infections is rare in healthy adults. Several studies have reported VZV reactivation and eruption happens in an immunocompromised host especially after solid organ transplantation. Nonetheless, diffuse bilateral lung VZV infections is also rare. We report a case of disseminated VZV pneumonia after renal transplantation and methylprednisolone treatment. This report highlights the computed tomography manifestations of disseminated VZV pneumonia.
