Özet
Breast milk is a major source for acquired cytomegalovirus infection especially in premature infants and acquired CMV infection occurs in infants whose mothers were seropositive for CMV. Although most of mothers of premature infants are seropositive in Turkey, acquired life-threatening breast milk acquired CMV infection was reported occasionally. Treatment of preterm with symptomatic breast milk acquired CMV infection should be done according to the severity of clinical signs. In this report, a preterm case with a diagnosis of breast milk-acquired CMV meningitis and sepsis without multiorgan failure on the 111th day of life, who did not require antiviral therapy was presented and discussed in the context of the acquired CMV literature. In preterm babies, when there is sepsis with no apparent causes, unexplained thrombocytopenia, elevated liver transaminases and direct hyperbilirubinemia acquired CMV infection should be suspected.
