Abstract:Haemophagocytic syndrome caused by CMV infection in a one month old infant is rare. Cytomegalovirus can cause congenital or perinatal infection in an infant. We report a case in a baby who had secondary haemophagocytic syndrome.The baby had progressive pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly and diagnosed to be infected with CMV. Inspite of aggressive management the baby succumbed to death. CMV infection in a neonate may predispose to haemophagocytic syndrome.
