HSV-1 pneumonitis can be associated with fulminant course associated in immunocompromised patients with high morbidity and mortality. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment is necessary for a successful outcome. In lung transplant recipients, HSV-1 pneumonitis can be associated with de novo donor specific antibodies (DSAs) and early graft loss.
