Abstract

The cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is most often asymptomatic, serious forms are confined to immunocompromised. We report a new case of post-transfusionnel hepatitis CMV of fatal outcome. A 83 year old man, asthmatic known for 26 years treated by corticosteroids, without particular hepatic antecedents, has presented an acute hepatitis post-transfusionnel CMV of fatal outcome. The authors suggest widening the indications of transfusion with the blood without leucocytes to the old persons, fragile and/or whose immunizing status is precarious.
