| Popis: | Existing evidence has convincingly established that young children often transmit cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection to their parents. What proportion of these parental infections lead to clinical disease is unknown, but this sequence of events is probably not rare. Physicians seeing young adults with prolonged but otherwise nondescript febrile illness should inquire about the presence of young children in the household. Parental CMV infection is not limited to parents whose children attend day-care centers or are cared for in neonatal intensive care units. As in our case of the febrile father, it may be strictly a family affair. |
