[Cytomegaly infection in infancy in a family with demonstrated HIV antibodies].
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) was isolated from the urine of babies from two consecutive pregnancies of a mother. The first baby had died of pneumonia at the age of six months, two years before the second confinement (twins of different sexes). The male twin was examined at the age of eight months on account of generalized lymphomas, pulmonary infiltrates and thrombopenia. He excreted CMV in the urine, and HIV antibodies were found in the serum. All members of the family (also the baby who died in 1983, from whom serum samples had been stored at -20 degrees C) finally proved to be carriers of antibodies against HIV. The parents and the female twin did not show any clinical symptoms indicating a HIV infection; however, CMV was also isolated from a urine sample from the mother.
