Abstract
A patient with DiGeorge syndrome developed pneumonia, caused by parainfluenza virus type 3, 2 yr after immunological reconstitution with fetal thymic epithelium. There was a transient reduction of mitogen-induced lymphocyte transformation at the time of the pneumonia. Although she recovered from the pneumonia, bronchitis persisted and the virus could still be isolated from her pharyngeal secretions 3.5 mo. later.Keywords
