We herein report a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV)
bronchitis
in a 62-year-old woman with
polymyositis
. She presented with respiratory symptoms and CMV antigenemia while undergoing immunosuppressive therapy with methotrexate (MTX) and prednisolone (PSL). Bronchoscopy was performed, which revealed an ulceration of the left main bronchus. A mucosal biopsy confirmed CMV infection, and the patient was diagnosed with CMV ulcerating
