Abstract We present a case report of an immunocompromised adult with cytomegalovirus infection and APLA positivity complicated by multiple large arterial thrombi. This is a rare presentation as most of the cases reported earlier have been of venous thrombosis, thus demonstrating propensity of CMV to induce arterial thrombosis either directly or indirectly.
