Abstract
We present a case report of a previously healthy adult with cytomegalovirus
infection that was complicated by extensive mesenteric arterial and venous
thrombosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this synd
rome in an immunocompetent individual who had no predisposing risk factors
for thrombosis, and it demonstrates the propensity for cytomegalovirus to b
e involved in vascular disease.
