Abstract

We report the first case of parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) pneumonia in a kidney transplant recipient. A 39-year-old man developed pneumonia during hospitalization 6 years after kidney transplantation. He became hypoxic and underwent noninvasive ventilation. PIV3 was detected in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. He was treated successfully with aerosolized ribavirin and intravenous immunoglobulin. Although he recovered from pneumonia, his graft function deteriorated and he had to restart peritoneal dialysis.
