Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a serious complication of immunosuppressed patients receiving bone marrow transplantation. Foscarnet, a pyrophosphate analog, has been used in the treatment of CMV infections. Renal impairment and electrolyte abnormalities are potential adverse reactions associated with the use of foscarnet. We report a case of significant electrolyte changes after initiation of foscarnet in a bone marrow transplant patient receiving parenteral nutrition.
