ABSTRACT
With the wide use of immunosuppressive agents, life-threatening cytomegalovirus-associated acute respiratory failure occurs frequently. However, this condition is yet to be fully recognized and the therapeutic approach to it can only be based on comprehensive protocols rather than the biological characteristics of cytomegalovirus. We describe three acute respiratory failure events that were related to the pathogenicity of cytomegalovirus, the primary cytopathic effect and secondary antiviral immunity-mediated damage. All cytomegalovirus infection occurred after immunosuppressive usage while the acute respiratory failure events took place in different clinical settings. The first acute respiratory failure event originated from the immunoinflammatory response after cytomegalovirus infection was circumscribed, while the second resulted from cytomegalovirus reactivation and the third was caused by the combined effect of acute cytomegalovirus infection and the subsequent immunoinflammatory response. According to the clinical setting, corresponding therapeutic approaches (sequential or combined strategy) were carried out. All the patients here presented were responsive to the above therapeutic strategies. Consequently, cytomegalovirus-associated acute respiratory failure in systemic lupus erythematosus patients should be carefully differentiated and a sequential or combined strategy should be carried out according to the clinical setting. Overall, we find that there are three patterns of cytomegalovirus-associated acute respiratory failure in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and propose a novel therapeutic strategy in relation to cytomegalovirus biology.
