pubmed:abstractText
A fetus at 24 weeks' gestation was found to have ascites and abdominal calcifications by ultrasonography. Pathologic examination after prostaglandin termination of pregnancy two weeks later revealed disseminated cytomegalovirus infection with inclusions in the lung, pancreas, kidney, and liver. A mononuclear inflammatory reaction was present in the portal areas of the liver and in the kidney, and gliosis was diffuse in the brain. The liver lesions were of greatest interest because most portal areas had no bile ducts. In other portal areas there was a combination of inclusions in epithelial cells of the few remaining interlobular ducts and intense duct-oriented inflammation. Thus, in fetuses surviving intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection, inflammatory destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts could manifest as chronic cholestasis and paucity of bile ducts later in infancy.
