title: Cytomegalovirus granulomatous hepatitis.
abstract: Three patients with granulomatous hepatitis due to cytomegalovirus are described. They are compared to the three previously described patients with this disease, and their clinical and serologic characteristics are discussed. Similarities and differences between infectious mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus) and cytomegalovirus infections are adduced. That cytomegalovirus may be a cause of granulomatous hepatitis in the adult is stressed.
