Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis leading to inflammation and obstruction of the tracheobronchial tree may cause the cystic changes in the lung. We performed segmentectomy of lung under the diagnosis of congenital cystic lung disease in an infant of 2 weeks presenting severe respiratory failure. Histology and serology confirmed congenital CMV bronchiolopneumonitis.
