Painful restricted movements of the extremities, hyperpigmentation over swollen joints, and a sclerema-like feel to the skin with increased serum triglyceride was seen in a 5-month-old baby with postnatal CMV infection. In an infant with pseudoparalysis of the limbs, the possibility of CMV infection has to be considered.
