[Non-A non-B hepatitis associated with cytomegalovirus infection].
A clinical case of a 58 year old male suffering from hepatitis non A, non B, and terminal chronic renal insufficiency under periodic dialysis, is presented. Following a 600 cc of packed red blood cells transfusion, there was an increase of antibodies IgG against cytomegalovirus (from 1/160 to 1/1560), detected by ELISA. At the same time, there were an increase of transaminases up to 404 UI/ml of GPT. Total bilirubin persisted normal. The possible etiology of the hepatitis non A, non B caused by cytomegalovirus is discussed and the results compared to those observed by other authors in immunosuppressed renal transplant patients.
