Abstract

A 32-year-old female was admitted for evaluation of multiple infiltrates on a chest radiograph. A diagnosis of multicentric Castleman's disease was made on the basis of typical clinical manifestations. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) revealed histological findings reported in lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. Both the polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization with a probe specific for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) sequences demonstrated the presence of KSHV in the TBLB sample.
