This is a case report of a previously healthy female patient with complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by a systemic cytomegalovirus infection that was successfully treated with plasmapheresis, steroids, and parenteral valganciclovir. Complement-mediated TMA is the result of various genetic mutations leading to complement abnormalities with overactivation of alternate complement pathway in response to a triggering infection. She also had splenic rupture without splenomegaly and was managed successfully without splenectomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
