 AB    The incidence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in the prostates of HIV
       positive patients was investigated. HIV positive patients were autopsied
       at the NSW Institute of Forensic Medicine. Prostatic tissue samples were
       studied by H&E staining and with CMV specific immunohistochemistry. Of
       eighteen patients studied six had evidence of CMV adrenalitis, four had
       CMV pneumonitis, one patient had CMV oesophagitis and one disseminated
       CMV infection. CMV prostate infection was found in three patients, one
       with no evidence of other CMV infection while one also had CMV
       pneumonitis and one disseminated infection. The clinical history
       suggested that prostatic CMV infection may be asymptomatic. We conclude
       that CMV infection of the prostate in HIV positive subjects is an
       occasional finding in patients coming to autopsy. It may be seen as an
       isolated finding or in the presence of other foci of CMV infection.
