“…However, severe disease can develop in immunosuppressed patients: herpetic tracheobronchitis and pneumonia have been described in patients severely immunosuppressed due to burns, malignancies, chemotherapy, transplantation, AIDS, and cell-mediated immunity deficiencies [1,2]. Furthermore, HSV1 has been found (12 %) in the lungs of patients presenting with severe respiratory distress [3][4][5].In this report, we describe a patient with Crohn's disease who developed the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to pneumonia caused by HSV1. …”

“…Ist [30]. Meist sind keine typischen Herpeseffloreszenzen sichtbar [102], doch wird vermutet, dass die Pneumonie durch Aspiration infektiöser Sekrete entsteht. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die Reaktivierung von Viren, die latent in vagalen Ganglien persistierten [30].…”

“…als respiratorischer Infekt oder mononukleoseartiges Krankheitsbild (CMV). Nach jahrzehntelanger asymptomatischer Persistenz kann es unter Immunsuppression, aber auch bei augenscheinlich immunkompetenten Patienten im Rahmen der intensivmedizinischen Behandlung zur endogenen Reaktivierung mit der Ausbildung viraler Pneumonien kommen [28,80,102,144]. Im Falle von CMV ist die Unterscheidung zwischen endogener Reaktivierung und exogener Neuinfektion mit anderen Virusstäm-men v. a. nach der Gabe von Blutprodukten schwierig zu treffen [81].…”

“…Clinical and microbiological diagnosis of HSV lower respiratory tract infections is difficult [Klainer et al, 1994] and most cases have remained unrecognized until post-mortem analysis [Tuxen, 1994]. Viral culture results of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens are difficult to interpret because HSV in the oropharynx may contaminate the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.…”

“…A quantitative approach to HSV detection in lower respiratory tract samples has been suggested before [Klainer et al, 1994;Stranska et al, 2004] but has not yet been performed [Simoons-Smit et al, 2006]. Clinically relevant thresholds of DNA levels in bronchoalveolar lavage specimens have not been determined for any herpes virus except cytomegalovirus (CMV) [Chemaly et al, 2004].…”
