We present two cases of immunocompetent patients with acute CMV infection directly followed by portal vein thrombosis in one and pulmonary embolism in the other patient. Thromboembolism may be a severe complication of acute CMV infection, with possible therapeutic implications. PMID: 30019682 [PubMed - in process]
