Abstract

Primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection generally occurs during childhood/early adolescence and is usually an asymptomatic or mild and self-limiting disease in immunocompetent patients. Mononucleosis-like syndrome due to primary CMV may occur in middle-aged or advanced-aged adults, though rare. Three middle-aged patients from the same family admitted to our clinic with acute CMV infection. Two of the three cases were hospitalized, CMV antibodies were examined and at the same time the third case had an acute CMV infection. CMV transmission among middle-aged family members is very rare. This study reports three cases of acute CMV infection andit’s transmission from person to person in the same family.

Özet

Daha çok genç erişkin ve adölesanlarda asemptomatik olan, bazen de ateş, farenjit ile sitomegalovirüs (CMV) mononükleozu şeklinde görülen bu infeksiyon orta ve ileri yaşta nadiren akut infeksiyon şeklinde görülmektedir. Kliniğimize yaklaşık bir ay arayla ateş yakınmasıyla başvuran aynı aileden üç orta yaş erişkinde akut CMV infeksiyonu saptanmıştır. Olguların ikisi ateş etyolojisi araştırılması için yatırılmış, üçüncü olguda aile öyküsü nedeniyle daha konservatif yaklaşılmıştır. Orta yaşlarda bireylere sahip bir ailede, aile içi CMV salgını literatüre bakıldığında çok az görülmektedir. Bu yazıda yukarıda belirtilen açıdan CMV hastalığı tartışılmıştır.
