Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common opportunistic pathogen. CMV sinusitis has been described in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, but not in other immune compromising conditions. In this report, we describe CMV sinusitis in a child with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) following bone marrow transplantation.
