Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a serious complication of immunosuppressed patient s receiving bone marrow transplantation. Foscarnet, a pyrophosphate analog, has been used in the treatment of CMV infections. Renal impairment and ele ctrolyte abnormalities are potential adverse reactions associated with the use of foscarnet. We report a case of significant electrolyte changes after initiation of foscarnet in a bone marrow transplant patient recieving pare nteral nutrition.
