ABSTRACT
Pneumonia is a fatal disease in immunocompromised patients including bone marrow transplantation recipients. Etiological agents include fungi, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis carinii, influenza virus and parainfluenza virus. We describe a community-acquired respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia in a patient who received intense chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation for acute leukemia. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and ribavirin aerosol. About 1 month later, she was recovered.
