title: Human cytomegalovirus infection of a severe-burn patient: evidence for productive self-limited viral replication in blood and lung.
abstract: To date, only seroepidemiological data are available on the role of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in patients with severe burns. We present the first longitudinal analysis of disseminated HCMV infection with a demonstration of self-limited productive viral replication identified in both the blood and lung of a burn patient.
