Abstract
SIR—Ofotokun et al. [1] recently described a previously healthy adult who had cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that was complicated by mesenteric arterial and venous thrombosis attributable to extensive vasculitis. In their report, the authors said that they considered a hypercoagulable state, but no cause was detected.Keywords
