[Cytomegalovirus infection. An obstetrical observation (author's transl)].
Cytomegalovirus infections are transmitted among adults by transfusion of fresh blood. This benign infection is characterised by a single febrile syndrome that appears, on an average, 22 days after the transfusion and may last as long as 6 weeks. Hematological anomalies are significant: inversion of the leucocytic formula with high rate of mononucleosis, founded on the presence of hyperbasophilic mononuclear cells that appears about the 30th day, will be confirmed when the virus is isolated in mononuclear cells and in urine and by means of situation fo C. M. V. antibodies. Those post-transfusion C. M. V. infections are frequent after extra-corporeal circulation but only appear clinically in 1 p. cent of cases.
