Zusammenfassung: | Persistent fever due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a considerable issue for patients and physicians that requires a broad differential diagnosis and evaluation of complications. Coinfections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and various respiratory viruses have also been reported. In severe cases of COVID-19, cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation or CMV coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 has been reported in association with critical illnesses and immunosuppressive therapy; however, in mild COVID-19 cases, CMV coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 has been reported only in severely immunocompromised patients, and its incidence and clinical importance remain unclear. Herein, we report a rare case of coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 and CMV in a patient with mild COVID-19 and untreated diabetes mellitus, which led to persistent fever for approximately 4 weeks. CMV coinfection should be considered in patients with COVID-19 who exhibit persistent fever. |
