Article Synopsis
- - Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpes virus that usually causes mild or no symptoms in healthy people but can lead to serious complications in those who are immunocompromised or newborns, causing disabilities.
- - A four-month-old girl presented with decreased feeding and severe anemia; lab tests revealed low blood cell counts and a urine CMV PCR test showed extremely high viral load, indicating CMV-related bone marrow suppression.
- - She was treated with the antiviral drug valganciclovir, resulting in improved blood parameters, highlighting the importance of recognizing CMV infections in cases of anemia or low blood cell counts in infants for better outcomes.

Introduction: Clinical expression of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is numerous and depends on the immune status of the host. In immunocompromised patients, CMV disease corresponds to reactivation of the virus with tissue damage responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. In immunocompetent adults, primary CMV infection is usually asymptomatic but may rarely result in severe organ damage.

The patient was a 30-year-old man who developed muscle weakness in both lower extremities, sensory deficits below the fourth thoracic spinal cord level, and bladder rectal dysfunction owing to cytomegalovirus (CMV) associated myelitis. His blood tests showed mononucleosis, hepatic dysfunction, and the presence of serum CMV-IgM antibodies, and T-weighted imaging on MRI displayed a continuous high signal on the ventral side of the spinal cord. Although his medical history and laboratory tests did not indicate that he was immunocompromised, we speculated he had CMV-associated myelitis.
