title: [Clinical aspects of acute cytomegalovirus infection in adults without immune deficiency].
abstract: The clinical pictures of 11 adults with cytomegalovirus-infection were analyzed. Characteristic symptom was fever of unknown origin lasting up to 50 days. Indications of an accompanying hepatitis were found in all patients and confirmed by increased serum levels of the transaminases which for al short time exceeded 5 mumols/s/l (AST) and 8 mumols/s/l (ALT) only in 2 patients. Mononucleosislike pictures, however, have not been seen. One patient developed neurological symptoms. The diagnosis was made by demonstrating IgM and IgG antibodies by way of the fluorescence antibody test. An antiviral therapy has not been introduced.
