✦ Synopsis

We describe an infant with symptomatic perinatally-acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection manifested by fever, anaemia, thrombocytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. This infant developed recurrent episodes of severe ascites during which the virus was isolated from his urine. This rare hepatic manifestation of neonatal CMV infection has, to the best of our knowledge, only been reported twice in aborted fetuses with intrauterine systemic CMV infection.
