: I wonder what symptoms led to the serology tests done before PLEVA appears. The positive results of both CMV IgM &amp; IgG mean you had a recent CMV infection but there is no reported case of CMV-related PLEVA; however, other viral infection such as herpes, EB or HIV may have causal relationship with PLEVA.
