Cytomegalovirus infection associated with atypical bronchopulmonary dysplasia in a preterm neonate: a case report

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is frequently isolated from neonates. Symptomatic infection is only apparent in 10% of affected babies with particular predilection for the reticuloendothelial and central nervous system. Isolated respiratory system involvement is rarely encountered. We report a case of a prema...
