Cytomegalovirus can cause congenital or perinatal infection in an infant. We report a case in a baby who had secondary haemophagocytic syndrome. The baby had progressive pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly and diagnosed to be infected with CMV. Inspite of aggressive management the baby succumbed to death. CMV infection in a neonate may predispose to haemophagocytic syndrome.en-USSecondary HLHCMVArticle
