Abstract
- Cutaneous infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV) is rare, and its clinical manifestations vary from purpuric papules to nodules, plaques, vesicles, bullaes, and ulcers. Cutaneous CMV is difficult to diagnose, clinically as well as histopathologically, because the microscopic changes induced by CMV are easily overlooked due to the sparcity of the typical change. We report a case of coinfection of the herpes simplex virus and CMV in a renal transplant patient. Knowledge of the histopathologic features of CMV infection helped us to diagnose it promptly and to start early treatment.
