[CMV virus infection of the vulva and vagina].
Clinical and histopathological findings of a woman with AIDS and an ulcerated vulvovaginitis are presented. The preliminary diagnosis of a herpes vulvitis was corrected after in-situ-hybridisation of the formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue. CMV was found in macrophages and endothelial cells in the vulva and vagina. In view of the increase in the number of immuno-suppressed patients these findings should direct clinical attention to this so far unusual manifestation of a CMV-infection.
