Abstract

A six-year-old child of Asian descent presented to the Bone Marrow Transplant Out-Patient Clinic with a two day history of a febrile upper respiratory tract infection. The child had recent contact with several extended family members during the winter holiday break. At the time of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) three months prior to presentation, the patient was seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
