Cytomegalovirus pneumonia in an ‘apparently immunocompetent’ young male
Evaluation of pyrexia of unknown origin should include a search for opportunistic infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis is a rare opportunistic infection that can occur in immunocompromised patients. We present an unusual case of CMV pneumonia diagnosed in an apparently healthy individual whose serology for HIV was negative.
