title: Diffuse hepatic fibrosis in congenital cytomegalovirus infection.
abstract: Liver dysfunction in congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common but usually self-limited. We describe a patient with congenital CMV infection that resulted in diffuse (noncirrhotic) hepatic fibrosis and liver failure. Morphologic patterns of liver disease in congenital CMV are briefly discussed.
