Abstract
A 45 years old patient under corticosteroid treatment for a probable sarcoidosis and a moderate pancytopenia, presents a pneumonia which did not respond to antibiotics nor to antifungal treatment indicated after isolation of aspergillus fumigatus in sputum. He progressively develops respiratory insufficiency and arterial hypotension. Immunofluorescense for parainfluenza 3 is positive. He dies after seven days and the necropsy shows a necrotizing pneumonia, diffuse alveolar damage and abundant viral particles
