A 40 yr old male who was seropositive for HIV experienced abdominal pain, fatigue, and low grade fever 38C?


for two weeks. A chest x-ray examination revealed lung infiltrates. Gram and acid fast stains were negative. A viral culture revealed the cause of his symptoms: a large, enveloped polyhedral virus with double stranded DNA. What is the disease? Which virus caused it? Why was the viral culture done after the Gram and acid fast stain results were obtained?

Herpesviridae-cytomegalovirus

gram and acid fast stain determined it wasn't bacteria and thus a viral culture was needed
