- Abstract:
- A subacute pneumonic disease of a young infant is described. Insidious onset, afebrile course, tachypnea, staccato cough, disseminated crepitations on auscultation, signs of infiltration and hyperexpansion on chest X-ray, eosinophilia as well as elevation of immunoglobulin fractions G and M suggested infection with chlamydia trachomatis. Microbiologic investigations, however, documented active infection with cytomegalovirus. Hence these symptoms were either caused by both organisms or constitute a rare monorganic manifestation of connatal cytomegalovirus disease. The syndrome of subacute pneumonia in the young infant might not necessarily depend on the infection with a specific organism.
