We describe the clinical course of three cytomegalovirus-antibody-positive allogeneic marrow graft recipients who developed progressive pancytopenia during the third month post-transplant. Bone marrow biopsy cores were hypocellular without evidence of disease recurrence. Haemopoietic progenitor assays demonstrated a decrease of all assayable progenitors. Cytomegalovirus was identified from the blood and urine of all three patients. However, none of the patients developed other manifestations of cytomegalovirus infection such as pneumonitis, hepatitis and enteritis. The therapeutic use of ganciclovir and intravenous immunoglobulins resulted in prompt resolution of both viraemia and viruria in all three patients, and of pancytopenia in two patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009894 Opportunistic Infections An infection caused by an organism which becomes pathogenic under certain conditions, e.g., during immunosuppression. Infection, Opportunistic,Infections, Opportunistic,Opportunistic Infection
D010198 Pancytopenia Deficiency of all three cell elements of the blood, erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. Pancytopenias
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
