A Case of Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia in a One Month Old Child with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection (cCMV)

Abstract

• Here we report a case of congenital CMV infection with rare presentation as haemolytic anemia in 50 day old infant. Clinical manifestations of our patient were pallor, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly and deranged coagulation profile. Congenital CMV being the most common viral congenital infection should be suspected in every neonate and infant presenting with haemolytic anaemia. It is also most common non-genetic cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and not much is yet there for its prevention except for primary prevention as role of immunoglobulin is still under trial.
