ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus is a common virus that is mostly asymptomatic when infected, but rarely causes life-threatening hemolysis especially in immunocompromised children. We report a case of antiglobulin test negative severe hemolytic anemia caused by cytomegalovirus infection developed in an immune competent 9-year-old girl. The patient's hemoglobin level was 4.8 g/dL on the day of admission. The diagnosis was achieved by exclusion of other causes of hemolytic anemia and serological evidence of recent CMV infection. The patient was successfully treated with anti-viral agents and steroids resulting in recovery from anemia. Clinicians should consider cytomegalovirus infection in the differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia in pediatric patients.
