RESUMO
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) has occasionally been associated with cases of interstitial pneumonitis, mainly in individuals with impaired cellular immunity. Here we report for the first time severe interstitial pneumonitis with simultaneous HHV-6 and Pneumocystis carinii infections in the lung tissue of a young patient with hypogammaglobulinemia.
