Unlabelled: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a human herpes virus with a worldwide seroprevalence of 60-100%, mainly known to cause severe life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. In immunocompetent hosts (IMCh), CMV causes a self-limiting mononucleosis-like infection, and severe pictures are less recognized. We report a case of a previously healthy 62-year-old woman evaluated in the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic for 3 weeks of progressive fatigue, generalised inflammatory arthralgias, hypogastric discomfort and daily persistent fever.

Department of Cardiology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India.
Adenosine is extensively utilized in myocardial stress perfusion imaging for the detection and risk stratification of coronary artery disease. It has a well-established safety profile. The majority of the undesirable effects experienced during adenosine infusion are transient (owing to its brief half-life of ~10 s) and arise from the stimulation of receptors in the atrio-ventricular (AV) node (AV block) and bronchial smooth muscles (bronchospasm).
