Case report reveals cutaneous cytomegalovirus infection in an immunocompromised woman, indicating rare skin involvement.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in people who are immunocompromised; however, cutaneous manifestations are rare compared with internal organ involvement. The clinical findings of cutaneous CMV infection typically include perioral or perianal ulcerations. Here, we present a case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, developed graft-versus-host disease and persistent skin lesions during her treatment course, and was eventually diagnosed with cutaneous CMV infection.
