1 Long-term Sequele fter Recovery from ytomeglovirus Pneumoni in Allogeneic Bone Mrrow Trnsplnt Recipients* Sin-Ming hien, M.D., Ph.D.;t hrles K. hn, M.D., Ph.D., F...P; George Ksupski, Ph.D; Den hmberlin, M.D.; Gillin Fyles, M.D.; nd Hns Messner, M.D., Ph.D. The clinicl course of cytomeglovirus (MV) pneumoni in seven consecutive bone mrrow trnsplnt (BMT) recipients during 24-month period ws studied. Retrospective nlysis of clinicl dt on the recipients with MV pneumoni during the illness nd prospective follow-up of those who recovered from the pneumoni ws performed. Those who hd MV s the sole pthogen nd with lymphocytosis in the BAL or the peripherl blood during the illness recovered from the pneumoni. On the contrry, those who hd mixed bcteril or fungl infection with peripherl lymphopeni died. Persistent lymphocytosis in the BAL nd the peripherl blood, in the bsence of MV infection, ws observed in the survivors. Two subsequently developed restrictive lung disese nd two hd relpse of their primry mlignncy. These dt suggest tht MV pneumoni in BMT ptients is ssocited with significnt long-term sequle. The phenomenon of persistent lymphocytosis in the BAL nd the peripherl blood, in the bsence of MV infection, supports Grundy s hypothesis tht MV pneumoni in BMT recipients is n immunopthologic condition.

To our knowledge, there re no published dt on the long-term outcome of BMT recipients who recovered from MV pneumoni. n view ofthe hypothesis of Grundy et l, we followed the clinicl course of seven consecutive BMT recipients with MV pneumoni during 24-month period t our center. The results indicte tht there could be significnt longterm complictions following n pprent recovery from the pneumoni nd lend support to the their *From the Deprtments of Medicine nd Virology, the Wellesley nd Princess Mrgret Hospitls, nd the Deprtment of Pthology, the Toronto Hospitl, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontrio, nd.

MATERAL AND METHODS From July 196 to June 19, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) with broncholveolr lvge (BAL) ws performed on 23 BMT recipients t our center. ndictions for the procedure included progressive dyspne nd/or pulmonry infiltrtes on chest roentgenogrm (XR) fter BMT All BALS were processed for detecting the presence of bcteri, including Legionell, mycobcterium, fungus, protozo, nd viruses. n prticulr, immunofluorescence studies using monoclonl ntibody directed ginst n erly nucler ntigen of MV in shell vil cell culture ssy ws used for detecting the presence ofmv in the BAL fluid. Briefly, monolyers of fibroblst in shell vils were inoculted with the BAL fluid, the cells were then exmined 16 h lter with the immunofluorescent ntibody directed ginst MV. Dignosis of MV pneumoni ws bsed on the presence of MV in the BAL using this shell vil culture-immunofluorescent detection system. Differentil cell count ofthe BAL fluid ws lso obtined. Recipients who recovered from MV pneumoni were followed up t regulr intervls with complete blood cell count, sputum nd urine cultures, XR, nd pulmonry function tests (PFT). Bronchoscopy with BAL ws performed whenever indicted. RESULTS During the 24-month period, FOB with BAL ws performed on 23 BMT recipients who presented with cute respirtory illness. Seven of them were dignosed s hving MV pneumoni. The clinicl chrcteristics of these ptients re summrized in Tble 1.

As shown in Tble i, with the exception of cse i, ll ptients presented within the first six months fter BMT. The clinicl presenttion of MV pneumoni s well s the outcome in ech cse ws presented in Tble 2. All ptients were symptomtic on presentlion; symptoms include dry cough, dyspne, nd fever. All except one ptient (cse i) hd bilterl infiltrtes on XR. ytomeglovirus ws the sole pthogen in four cses, nd the rest hd concomitnt bcteril or fungl infection. The incidence ofmv pneumoni in this cohort is 31 percent, which is comprble with other studies. #{176} All, except one ptient (cse 3), were treted with DHPG nd GG. Those ptients who hd MV s the sole pthogen nd with peripherl lymphocytosis during the illness recovered from the pneumoni (cses i through 4). At the time of presenttion, the men lymphocyte counts from these four ptients were 1.55 x 1fL, with the percentge of lymphocytes rnging from 35 percent to 73 percent (Tble 2). On the contrry, ftl outcome ws observed in the three ptients with mixed infection nd with peripherl lymphopeni. The men lymphocyte counts from these three ptients were. i9 x i/l, with the percentge of lymphocytes rnging from 2 percent to percent (Tble 2). The four ptients who survived the MV pneumom were followed up t regulr intervls. At the end ofthe two-yer period, two developed restrictive lung disese nd two died of relpse from the primry hemtologic disorder. Thus, in this cohort, the outcome of MV pneumoni in BMT recipients cn be divided into three subgroups: (1) survived the pneumoni but subsequently developed restrictive lung disese; (2) recovered from the pneumoni but followed with relpse oftheprimry mlignncy; nd (3) ftlity.

Both ptients re live t the time of reporting. Seril BALS were obtined from both ptients during the follow-up period. Persistent lymphocytosis, in the bsence of detectble virus by the shell vil culture technique ws found in the BALs in both ptients (Tbles 2 nd 3). The percentge of lymphocytes in the BAL fluids ws significntly higher thn the norml rnges t our institute.

The ptient subsequently died of cute myelogenous leukemi (AML) fter second relpse. Similr phenomenon ws observed in cse 4, who ws seronegtive to MV pre-bmt. Peripherl lymphocytosis ws observed during MV pneumoni nd persisted prior to the relpse of cute leukemi (Fig 1, lower right). Ptients with Mixed nfection The BALs obtined from cses 5, 6, nd 7 during the cute illness showed evidence of mixed bcteril or fungl infection with MV. Klebsiell nd Enterobcter were identified in one cse, Legionell in the second, nd Aspergillus in the third cse (Tble 2). All were treted with DHPG nd GG, with pproprite ntibiotics or ntifungl gents. None survived the cute illness. Anlysis of peripherl blood found profound lymphopeni in ll three ptients t the time of illness (.i2,.i4, nd.32 x i/l, respectively) (Tble 2). Thus, concurrent bcteril or fungl infection in BMT recipients with MV pneumoni nd lymphopeni crried n extremely poor prognosis. DSusSON n the pst, MV pneumoni in BMT recipients crried high mortlity rte. ombintion therpy of DHPG nd GG hs improved the survivl rte to 5 percent. Similr success rte ws observed in our study. Grundy et l hve proposed tht MV pneumoni in BMT recipients is n immunologic disese, with the primry pthologic process being n ctivted host immune response to the presence of virl ntigen(s) in the lung. The consequence of this ctivted host immune system is not known, s there re no published dt on the long-term sequele of BMT recipients who recovered from MV pneumoni (to our knowledge). n the present study, four ptients recovered from the pneumoni. Two developed restrictive lung disese within six to nine months nd HEST 11 4 APRL Downloded From: on 9/3/215
5 two died of relpse from the primry mlignnt neoplsm within five months fter recovery from MV pneumoni. Thus, our results seem to suggest tht there is significnt morbidity nd mortlity ssocited with BMT recipients who recovered from MV pneumoni. During the cute illness, lymphocytosis ws found in the BAL fluid obtined from both ptients who subsequently developed restrictive lung disese, suggestive of n ctivted host immune system induced by the virl infection. More importntly, the BAL lymphocytosis persisted in both ptients in the bsence ofpositive virl culture, following recovery from MV pneumoni. This indictes tht the ctivted immune system might not subside with the elimintion of MV from the body. The fct tht both ptients developed restrictive lung disese, in the presence of the BAL lymphocytosis, within six to nine months fter recovery from MV pneumoni suggests cuse nd effect reltionship between the two observtions. This would support the hypothesis tht MV pneumoni iii BMT recipients in n immunopthologic condition, nd suggests MV pneumoni in BMT recipients cn be ssocited with short-term mortlity s well s long-term sequele. Two ptients who survived the MV pneumoni hd recurrence of the primry mlignncy. Peripherl lymphocytosis ws noted in both ptients during the illness nd persisted into the recovery phse (Fig 1, upper nd lower right). Recently, Milburn et l reported nonspecific polyclonl B-cell ctivtion in BMT recipients who hd MV pneumoni. These dt suggest tht MV infection results in nonspecific polyclonl ctivtion of hemtopoietic cell lines, including mlignnt ones, nd my ply role in relpse ofthe primry disese in these two ptients. However, it should be emphsized tht this remins hypothesis t present nd more dt re needed to support this )ostultion. Peripherl lymphocytosis ws observed in ll ptients who hd MV s the sole pthogen (cses 1 through 4) nd recovered from the illness, wheres ll three ptients who hd mixed infections nd died of the pneumoni hd substntilly lower lymphocyte counts in peripherl blood. (The men bsolute lymphocyte count ws 1.55 x 1/L vs. 19 x 1fL.) These dt suggest tht the immunocompetency of the host is n importnt fctor in determining the outcome of MV pneumoni in BMT recipients, nd peripherl lymphocytosis t the time of illness my be used s prognostic fctor for recovery. n summry, the following conclusions cn be drwn from the results of this study. First, there re longterm sequele in BMT recipients who recovered from MV pneumoni. n our study, these ptients either developed restrictive lung disese or hd relpse of the primry mlignncy. Second, the phenomenon of persistent lymphocytosis in the BAL nd the peripherl blood, in the bsence of positive virl culture, supports Grundy s hypothesis tht MV pneumoni in BMT ptients is n immunopthologic condition. Third, peripherl lymphocytosis during MV pneumoni my be used s prognostic fctor for recovery from the illness, s recovery occurs only in ptients who were ble to mount the response in the peripherl blood during the illness.
