Tischler, Verena; Schuurmans, Macé M; Boehler, Annette; Gaspert, Ariana (2012). Crystal precipitation and granulomatous inflammation in multiple organs after foscarnet therapy in a lung transplant recipient. Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 31(9):1037-1040.
We present the case of a lung transplant recipient with disseminated crystal precipitation, and granulomatous and fibrinous inflammation after therapy with foscarnet (Foscavir; AstraZeneca, Zug, Switzerland) for recurring ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation. This is the first description of systemic crystal precipitation and granulomatous inflammation associated with foscarnet therapy with predominant involvement of the heart, kidneys and lungs.
