Abstract
Sir—Boyce and Wright [1] described 2 infant girls adopted from China who had cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia and possible immune deficiency due to malnutrition. In August 1995, we saw a similar case in an adopted Chinese girl who had a malnutrition-associated rash and opportunistic pneumonia due to Bordetella bronchiseptica and, possibly, CMV.Keywords
