“…In fact, CMV is the most common cause of congenital infection, affecting 30,000-40,000 liveborn in-rants annually in the United States. [1][2][3] It is estimated that CMV will be transmitted to 50% of fetuses after the primary infection and that 10% of these infected infants will be clinically affected. An excellent review by Duff'* covers the effects of CMV on the fetus.…”

A 27-year-old primiparous preeclamptic woman developed a skin rash in late pregnancy and was persistently febrile for 10 days after giving birth. Blood tests suggested that she developed the HELLP syndrome and had concomitant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Hemolysis, slightly impaired liver function, and thrombocytopenia were explainable by either only the CMV infection or only the HELLP syndrome. A literature review of a limited number of such cases and our case suggests that laboratory data in patients with CMV infection can mimic those of the HELLP syndrome. Thus, it may be important to consider CMV infection as a possible cause of abnormal laboratory data similar to the HELLP syndrome.
