Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the most an issue of common complications among patients receiving polychemotherapy. However, the question of the influence of CMV infection remains under-explored outside the context of allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells. The article presents a rare clinical case – achievement of complete clinical and hematological remission of refractory neuraleukemia against CMV infection in a patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia, followed by rejection of hematopoietic transplants against the background of activation of the TcRα/β-clone of lymphocytes and CMV viremia.
