Fig. 1A 35-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed
adenovirus pneumonia 1 year after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation. Anteroposterior chest radiograph shows patchy opacities
(arrows) in both lungs. Also note endotracheal intubation tube and
central venous line.

Fig. 1B 35-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed
adenovirus pneumonia 1 year after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation. High-resolution (1.0-mm collimation) CT scans obtained at
level of great vessels (B) and right inferior pulmonary vein (C)
show extensive and patchy ground-glass opacities (arrows) associated
with interlobular septal thickening (arrowheads) and intralobular
linear opacities in both upper lobes, forming so-called crazy paving
appearance. Also note small amount of left pleural effusion.

Fig. 1D 35-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed
adenovirus pneumonia 1 year after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation. Photomicrograph of pathologic specimen obtained by
videotape-assisted thoracoscopic surgery biopsy shows intraalveolar fibrinous
exudate forming hyaline membrane (arrows) and interstitial
fibroblastic proliferation (arrowheads), suggestive of mixed
exudative and proliferative phase of diffuse alveolar damage. (H and E,
x100)

Fig. 1E 35-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed
adenovirus pneumonia 1 year after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation. Photomicrograph of pathologic specimen shows alveolar lining
cell with intranuclear inclusions, which are surrounded by halo
(arrows). (H and E, x1,000)

Fig. 1F 35-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed
adenovirus pneumonia 1 year after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
transplantation. Photomicrograph of pathologic specimen after
immunohistochemical staining for adenovirus shows poorly demarcated smudges
(arrowheads) within nucleus, indicating positivity for adenovirus
infection. (x400)

Fig. 2B 76-year-old woman with history of fever and dyspnea who developed
adenovirus pneumonia. High-resolution (1.0-mm collimation) CT scans obtained
at subcarinal level (B) and at level of left basal trunk (C)
show patchy subpleural ground-glass opacities (arrows) in both lungs,
associated with consolidative areas (arrowheads).

(arrow) in right upper lobe and patchy ground-glass opacities
(arrowheads) in both lungs.
