Fever after a cardiac operation is commonly caused by myocardial infarction, postpericardiotomy syndrome, post-myocardial infarction syndrome (Dressler's syndrome), or
postperfusion syndrome
resulting from cytomegalovirus infection. Postpericardiotomy syndrome and post-myocardial infarction syndrome are autoimmune disorders characterized by eosinophilia, pleuritic chest pain, and pleural effusions. In contrast, the diagnosis of
postperfusion syndrome
caused by cytomegalovirus is suggested if the patient has a mild
sore throat
, no pleural component or chest pain, no eosinophilia, and atypical lymphocytosis. The syndromes of injury after cardiac surgical procedures are diagnoses of exclusion, but the diagnosis of
postperfusion syndrome
("40-day postoperative fever") may be made on the basis of elevated cytomegalovirus IgM titers.
