Abstract

Severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection involving multiorgan is very rare except in very low-birth weight infants, or in immunocompromised pediatric patients. We report an unusual case of severe CMV infection involving multiple organs including the central nervous system, liver, lung, and gastrointestinal tract in a late-preterm infant at 2 months of age.

여러 기관을 침범하는 중증 주산기 거대세포바이러스 감염은 극저출생체중아 또는 면역저하 환자 이외의 경우에는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 재태연령 34주 6일, 2,460 g으로 출생한 후기 미숙아에서 다기관(중추신경계, 간, 폐, 위장관)을 침범한 거대세포바이러스에 의한 주산기 감염을 의심하고 ganciclovir 투약 후 회복된 증례를 경험하여 문헌 보고하는 바이다.
