She was diagnosed with acute CMV infection and CMV pneumonitis. During her hospitalization she developed acute distress syndrome (ARDS). The patient was intubated and underwent emergency caesarean delivery. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and received intravenous ganciclovir. She was discharged at 20th day postpartum in a good clinical condition.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This case highlights the infrequent yet potential complexity of CMV infection in immunocompetent patients and in pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-023-08091-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]],"date-time":"2023-03-22T14:09:02Z","timestamp":1679494142000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Severe CMV pneumonitis and the resulting ARDS in a 28-year-old pregnant woman: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Sotirios","family":"Kalogeropoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evgenia","family":"Zarogianni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgios","family":"Adonakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Apostolos","family":"Kaponis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"8091_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1007\/s00063-004-1024-7","volume":"99","author":"E Siewert","year":"2004","unstructured":"Siewert E, Geier A, Dietrich CG, Backes B, Matern S, Gartung C.
