Cytomeglovirus infections are common disorders after heart transplantations. Manifestation of the virus without a clinical disease is still more prevalent. Differentiation of clinical infections from cytomegalovirus activations without major pathogenetic importance issues a challenge in the follow‐up of patients with cardiac transplants. The case describes a 56‐year‐old female patient with a multiple organ lethal infection and myocarditis due to cytomegalovirus diagnosed during life with endomyocardial biopsy.
