Clinical Case Reports
|December 30, 2022
Summary
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is a common complication after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). This case highlights a rare instance of CMV lymphadenitis mimicking lymphoma relapse, emphasizing the need for prompt treatment.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Hematology
- Virology
Background:
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation frequently occurs post-autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
- Generalized CMV lymphadenitis is an uncommon manifestation of CMV infection in this setting.
- Distinguishing CMV lymphadenitis from lymphoma relapse is clinically challenging.

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
