Summary This paper reviews a case of a newborn child which died soon after birth in consequence of a cytomegalic inclusion disease involving the brain, liver, lungs and kidneys. The interest of the case lies in the unusual finding of lesions of the vascular loops of the renal glomeruli. These lesions were represented by focal areas of homogeneous appearance which were strongly basophilic and PAS-positive. Although the nature of these areas has not been completely established, the renal lesions can be tentatively defined as focal, probably necrotizing glomerulonephritis. The association of this type of glomerular lesions with cytomegalic inclusion disease has not been previously reported.
