Abstract |
Transfusion-acquired perinatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can cause significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in premature infants with a birth wight of less than 1,500 gm. This recognizable syndrome consisted of deterioration of respiratory function, hepatosplenogaly, unusual gray pallor with disturbing septic appearance, lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia.
We experienced transfusion-acquired CMV infections in 2 premature infants with a birth weight of 857 gm and 950 gm respectively who were admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit of Seoul National University Children's Hosptal. So we presented with a brief review of the literatures. |
