Background-Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is emerging as a multidrug-resistant (MDR) nosocomial pathogen of considerable clinical importance. Data on the efficacy of infection control measures in endemic situations are lacking. Here, we investigated the impact of a long-term multifaceted "bundle" approach in controlling endemic MDR Ab in a 950-bed tertiary care center.

Four immunocompetent adults presented with protracted fever lasting > 6 weeks and severe weight loss, associated with primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Each patient had spleen enlargement, lymphocytosis and hypertriglyceridaemia, but recovered spontaneously. A further 20 immunocompetent patients with primary CMV infection were also reviewed, and all presented the usual clinical picture of CMV mononucleosis. It was concluded that CMV mononucleosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with prolonged fever and weight loss if lymphocytosis is present.
