Cytomegalovirus infections may occur either as congenital and neonatal diseases respectively or postnatally in adults in connection with conditions of antibody or immunologic deficiencies. Reports of postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus infections in apparently healthy adults are scarce. A case of an acquired cytomegalo-virus infection in a 23-year old male patient who never was ill before is reported. Clinical and laboratory features showed a typical course of a Paul-Bunnell negative glandular fever. Diagnosis could be established by detection of cytomegalovirus IgM serum levels by means of immunofluorescence technique.
