血球貪食症候群，急性腎不全，消化管穿孔を合併したサイトメガロウイルス筋炎の60歳男性例

: A 60-years-old previously healthy man presented with acute renal failure and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Both conditions improved after immunotherapies, but severe limb weakness with elevation of serum CK developed. Needle EMG showed myogenic changes with spontaneous activities and muscle weakness thereafter improved without adding further immunotherapies, suggesting that our patient had viral myositis. After the stabilization of limb weakness, cecal perforation occurred due to cytomegalovirus (CMV) enteritis and temporal significant change of anti-CMV IgG antibody titer was confirmed using paired serum samples. Upregulation of MHC-class I molecule and numerous regenerative muscle fibers were observed in muscle biopsy, but no evidence of direct CMV infection in muscle fibers were seen. Although CMV infection may cause either myositis, acute renal failure, HLH or colitis in individual patient, this is the first case which had been complicated by all these conditions subsequent to CMV infection.
