Abstract
- A 66-year-old male with adult T cell leukemia had an ulcer on the left medial thigh. The biopsy of the skin lesion revealed enlarged endothelial cells with acidophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies, suggesting cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. At autopsy, CMV was isolated from a nodular skin lesion of the scrotum. The urine constantly tested positive for CMV. Restriction endonuclease cleavage analysis of DNA of the isolates from the skin and urine indicated that this patient was infected with two different strains of CMV.
