ABSTRACT
Long-term success of lung transplantation is limited by allograft dysfunction and frequent infections. Varicella zoster virus infection (VZV) is one of the most common opportunistic infections among solid organ transplantation recipients. However the occurrence of visceral involvement or disseminated disease, as seen after bone marrow transplantation, is rare. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman who underwent double-lung transplantation with a fatal visceral and disseminated varicella zoster virus infection.
