Abstract
A case of fatal generalized cytomegalovirus infection with particular attention to lesions involving the skin is reported. Characteristic cytomegalovirus inclusion bodies were present within nuclei of endothelial cells in the dermis beneath ulcerations. Skin biopsy may be useful in the diagnosis of disseminated infections by cytomegalovirus.
