  • Title: Cytomegalovirus-infected cells in a pleural effusion from an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient. A case report.
    Author: Delfs-Jegge S, Dalquen P, Hurwitz N.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1994; 38(1):70-2. PubMed ID: 8291358.
    Abstract:
    Cells with typical cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion bodies were found in smears of a pleural effusion from a 51-year-old acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient. He suffered from severe, generalized CMV infection and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia complicated by recurrent pneumothorax. CMV infection was proven by a positive immunohistochemical reaction. Cytologic demonstration of CMV-infected cells in a pleural effusion has not been reported before to the best of our knowledge.
