Abstract

The clinical symptoms of floride Cytomegalovirus infections of 18 previously healthy adults are reported. Fever was generally observed. In most cases myocarditis or hepatitis could be identified. Two of our patients died of on severe myocarditis. In 3 patients Guillain-Barré-syndrome was observed. Only in few of our cases the clinical picture was characterized by mononucleosis with systemic swelling of lymphonodes and thrombocytopenia or by pneumonia. Other symptoms were found quite seldom. The diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection could be ascertained by: 1. detection of cytomegalovirus IgM antibody titers of greater 1:64, 2. a four fold increase in the titer of complement fixing antibodies, 3. Virus isolation from urine.
