title: [Acute cytomegalovirus infection and venous thromboembolism].
abstract: Acute cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) may be responsible of venous thromboembolism, especially in immunocompromised patients. In addition, an association between CMV infection and thrombotic events in immunocompetent hosts has been sporadically reported. We present a case of a previously healthy woman with venous thromboembolic event during acute CMV infection and the presence of anti-cardiolipin IgM antibodies.
