Core Tip Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) can establish lifelong latency after primary infection. It also leads to severe disease in immunocompromised patients. However, CMV infection in immunocompetent patients is usually asymptomatic and severe organ damage is rarely reported. Here, we report an immunocompetent patient with a unique presentation of severe CMV hepatitis manifested by cholestasis, ascites and pancytopenia. The patient was asymptomatic with normal liver function and negative CMV DNA after two weeks of antiviral therapy. It is suggested that testing for CMV should be carried out, even in patients with normal immune status, presenting with severe liver damage or cholestasis.
