Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a common infectious complication after kidney transplantation. Indirect effects of CMV infection include an increased risk of secondary infections, increased risk of acute rejection, and chronic allograft dysfunction. However, it is not well known that CMV may also increase the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. Here, we present a case of acute deep venous thromboembolism associated with acute CMV disease in a kidney transplant recipient. We also performed a literature review of cytomegalovirus-associated thrombosis in immunocompromised individuals.
