RESUMO

Paciente feminina, de 19 anos, transplantada de medula óssea devido a leucemia mielóide crónica, apresentando tosse seca e coriza no 67.º dia após o procedimento. A radiografia de tórax não evidenciou alterações. A tomografia computadorizada de alta resolução do tórax revelou consolidação subsegmentar na periferia do lobo inferior esquerdo e áreas de redução da atenuação nos terços superior e médio dos pulmões. O lavado broncoalveolar demonstrou pesquisa positiva por imunoflorescência direta para anticorpos anti-vírus parainfluenza. Foi instituído tratamento com ribavirina aerolizada durante 10 dias, havendo melhoria clínico-radiológica do quadro infeccioso.

ABSTRACT

Nineteen year-old female patient, who underwent bone marrow transplantation because of chronic myelogenous leukemia, presented with dry cough and coriza sixty-seven days after the procedure. The chest radiograph was normal. The high resolution computed tomography showed a subsegmental air-space consolidation at the periphery of the left inferior lobe and areas of low attenuation at the superior and middle lung zones. The bronchoalveolar lavage demonstrated positive direct fluorescence antibody testing against parainfluenza virus. Treatment with aerolizated ribavirin was instituted during 10 days and the patient showed clinical-radiological improvement.
