Splenic Infarction in Acute Cytomegalovirus and Human Parvovirus Concomitant Infection

Abstract: We present a case report of a 35-year-old woman who had splenic infarction. She had persistent high fever, systemic joint pain, and abnormal liver function. She was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus and human parvovirus B19 concomitant infection. Her coagulopathy test revealed no abnormal results. She was treated with intravenous ganciclovir for 13 days; consequently, her splenic infarction improved after 7 weeks. As per our knowledge, this is the first case of cytomegalovirus and parvovirus B19 coinfection compl… Show more

“…Initially, empirical treatment for meningitis was initiated because of the clinical picture; however, the antibiotics and antiviral treatments were discontinued with the diagnosis of CMV infection. Acute CMV infection and splenic infarction are rare in immunocompetent patients, and only a few case reports have been reported in the literature [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The exact pathophysiological mechanism by which CMV infection triggers thrombosis is unclear.…”

“…Dentro de las enfermedades infecciosas que corresponden aproximadamente el 30% de los diagnósticos de Infarto esplénico, la infección por CMV ha sido reportada en muy pocos casos, uno de ellos asociado a la infección por Parvovirus en una mujer joven en Japón 4 . Este último caso recibió tratamiento con ganciclovir, lo cual no se realizó en el caso presentado dada la poca evidencia de dicho tratamiento en esta entidad específica.…”

“…La mononucleosis infecciosa es causada comúnmente por Infección por el Virus de Epstein-Barr (VEB), que se caracteriza por faringitis, linfadenopatía, linfocitosis atípica y hepatoesplenomegalia. Aunque la mononucleosis infecciosa suele ser una enfermedad autolimitada, puede tener ciertas complicaciones, dentro de las cuales la ruptura esplénica es una de las más graves y ocurre en sólo el 0,1% de los pacientes 4,5 .…”
