Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been reported to cause serious event in nonimmunocompromised patients after major surgery. Particularly in active case, the indication of surgical intervention is a difficult issue. A 7-months-old boy with ventricular septaldefect (VSD) has been diagnosed with CMV hepatitis. As his heart failure was not controlled with medication, he underwent closure of VSD at 9 months of age while CMV was still detected in the urine and serum by polymerase chain reaction method.
