Splenic Infarction in Acute Cytomegalovirus and Human Parvovirus Concomitant Infection

Abstract EN

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 complicated by splenic infarction.

Cytomegalovirus and parvovirus B19 may induce a hypercoagulation state during the acute phase.
