Cutaneous manifestations of cytomegalovirus infection in an immunocompromised patient
Keywords:
cytomegalovirus, skin, histopathologyAbstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that frequently affects immunocompromised patients. Involvement of different organs results from this infection, cutaneous manifestations are uncommon and non-specific. We report the case of a 70 year old man diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and CMV infection with skin manifestations.
