      (HHV-6) infection after bone marrow transplantation.

AB  - Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6)-associated encephalitis or pneumonitis has been 
      reported in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. Several MRI studies 
      in patients with HHV-6-associated encephalitis have been presented. However, to 
      the best of our knowledge, no studies describing thin-section CT imaging in 
      patients with HHV-6-associated pneumonitis have been reported. Here we describe a 
      case of HHV-6-associated encephalitis and pneumonitis that developed after bone 
      marrow transplantation. Thin-section CT images of the chest revealed ground-glass 
      attenuation, consolidation and centrilobular nodules in both lungs.
