The role of cytomegalovirus infection in contributing to outcomes in critically ill immunocompetent patient has not been fully defined. Active infection is observed in ICU patients and in more the 20% of ICU patient - positive serology .More studies are needed to identify factors that could predict the risk of developing a CMV reactivation ,mechanism causing CMV pathogenicity and predisposing immunologic conditions associated with the development of CMV reactivation. Clinically significant CMV disease (reactivation of previously latent infection or newly acquired infection) frequently develops in immunocompromised patients . Cytomegalovirus can cause a wide spectrum of infection in immunocompetent hosts and multisystem involvement (fever of unknown origin). The case of cytomegalovirus activation in immunocompetent patient is presented. The case challenges diagnosis and identification of CMV and patient management .
