Abstract
We report a rare case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) bronchopneumonia in an otherwise healthy middle-aged individual. Bronchoscopy indicated scattered white-coated lesions in the bronchial mucosa. The diagnosis was established following immunohistopathological staining for HSV of specimens obtained by bronchial biopsy. This case suggests that HSV could be a pathological agent of not only oral and genital mucosal lesions but also lower respiratory tract infection.Entities:
