However, an increasing number of patients have recently been reported to have a localized infection, and some of them have recovered without the need for specific treatment. Both humoral and cellular immunity are present in HSV infection, but as with other viral infections, the cellular immune response is thought to be much more important. The opportunistic infection Cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis is common in lung transplant recipients. CMV disease can cause symptoms in almost every organ of the body, including fever of unknown origin, pneumonia, hepatitis, encephalitis, myelitis, colitis, uveitis, retinitis, and neuropathy.
