  • Title: [Severe CMV infection: not only in immunocompromised patients].
    Author: Giroud O, Meier P, San Millán D, Praz G.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2010 Oct 13; 6(266):1918-21. PubMed ID: 21089558.
    Abstract:
    In presence of immunosuppression Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can cause severe and potentially fatal infection involving multiple organs. In healthy immunocompetent individuals CMV usually causes an asymptomatic or mild infection with spontaneous cure. No specific therapy is needed. Rarely, however, the primary infection can be severe with multiple organs injuries and fatal cases are described. In these situations antiviral therapy is indicated and the clinical and biological response is very rapidly good. We describe a clinical case and present a review of the literature.
