Department of Medicine, Huddinge Hospital, Sweden.

A 45-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukemia developed fever followed by decreasing liver function. Her clinical condition rapidly deteriorated, acute liver necrosis developed, and the patient died of hepatic and renal failure. Adenovirus type 1 was isolated before death from blood, urine and throat and found in liver and lung at autopsy. Serologic studies showed that the infection was primary and that the patient was unable to mount an antibody response to the infection. Adenovirus type 1 is an uncommon cause of lethal infections in immunocompromised patients.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
