      pneumonitis in a patient undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation for 
      relapsed Hodgkin's disease: a case report.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) occurs frequently in 
      patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and is associated with 
      bone-marrow suppression, enteritis, pneumonitis, pericarditis and also 
      encephalitis. After autologous stem cell transplantation or intensive 
      polychemotherapy HHV-6 reactivation is rarely reported. CASE REPORT: This case 
      demonstrates a severe symptomatic HHV-6 infection with encephalitis and 
      pneumonitis after autologous stem cell transplantation of a patient with relapsed 
      Hodgkin's disease. CONCLUSION: Careful diagnostic work up in patients with severe 
      complications after autologous stem cell transplantation is mandatory to identify 
      uncommon infections.
