Prolonged recovery from pediatric cardiac surgery due to disseminated cytomegalovirus infection
Congenital Heart Disease, 04/27/2012
Solomon R et al. – Authors present an infant with unexplained persistent respiratory failure following partial a trioventricular septal defect repair. Extensive evaluation including bronchoalveolar lavage subsequently led to the diagnosis of disseminated cytomegalovirus. This is the first reported case to the knowledge of disseminated cytomegalovirus following surgical repair of congenital heart disease excluding orthotopic heart transplant.
