1453. Clinical Manifestation and Risk Factors Associated with Mortality of Cytomegalovirus Infection in Immunocompetent Patients in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand: a 3-year experience

Abstract

Abstract Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection usually occurs in organ transplant or HIV-infected patients. Recently, we found CMV infection was increased in non-transplant and non-HIV infected patients. Our study aimed to determine the epidemiology, clinical manifestation, clinical outcome, and risk factors associated mortality of CMV infection in this population. Methods The retrospective study was conducted in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Patients aged above 18 years with diagnosis of CMV infection from January 2017 to September 2019 were collected and identified by ICD-10 code. Patients with HIV infection, solid organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplant were excluded. Results A total of 51 patients, including 28 males (54.9%) were identified. The median age was 61 years (range 48-73 years). 46 patients (90.2%) had underlying disease which were 19 cases (37.3%) of autoimmune disease, 13 cases (25.5%) of hematologic disease (mostly hematologic malignancy), 4 cases (7.8%) of chronic kidney disease, and 10 cases (21.6%) of others. CMV viremia was found in 31.4%. Regarding CMV end-organ disease, there were 20 cases of gastrointestinal tract CMV infection, 10 cases were CMV retinitis, 5 cases were CMV pneumonitis and 1 case was CMV hepatitis and CMV transverse myelitis. The all-cause mortality was 25.5% and significantly in age over 70-year-old (p=0.037). The end-organ disease and CMV viral load were not different in survived and death group (p=0.445 and p=0.838, respectively). Factors associated with mortality of CMV infection Conclusion CMV infection was an emerging problem in non-transplant and non-HIV infected adult patients, especially in age over 70-year-old in our Institute. The study showed infections predominated in rheumatologic and hematologic malignant patients who were received chemotherapy or immunosuppressive agent. Viremia and gastrointestinal tract were organs that mainly involved. CMV infection will become an important complication in the era of treatment with immuno-chemotherapy. Clinician should be aware of this potentially life-threatening infection. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures.
