Abstract

Here we report a case of congenital CMV infection with rare presentation as haemolytic anaemia in a 50-day-old infant. Clinical manifestations of our patient were pallor, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and a deranged coagulation profile. Congenital CMV being the most common viral congenital infection should be suspected in every neonate and infant presenting with haemolytic anaemia. It is also the most common non-genetic cause of SNHL and not much is yet there for its prevention except for primary prevention as the role of immunoglobulin is still under trial.
