We describe a case of cytomegalovirus infection via the mother’s milk in preterm twins who showed a different disease pattern. Molecular analyses to genotype the viral genome disclosed a mixed population of virus strains in the milk. These isolates were differentially transmitted to each of the twins and this may be responsible of the different patterns of disease.
