[Thrombocytopenic purpura of the young infant caused by perinatal infection by cytomegaloviruses].

Two cases of idiopathic trombocytopenic purpura, in infants 37 and 42 days old, and one case of atypical congenital cytomegaloviral disease are presented, the latter proved at necropsy. Cytomegalic inclusion cells are found in urine in both cases of purpura with hepatosplenomegaly and mononucleosis syndrome. In one of the cases, cytomegalovirus cultures are positive in urine and blood. The hemorrhagic syndrome is mild and recuperation is achieved in less than thirty days, without relapse. The use of corticosteroids is not recommended. With these two new cases, thirteen similar clinical observation of thrombocytopenic purpura in infants, six of them in 1977, are completed. Thus, a new entity is added to the growing list of clinical manifestations caused by human CMV infection.
