Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) and confers significant morbidity and mortality. Both acute and past cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection have been identified as risk factors for VTE in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. Here, we examine whether past exposure to CMV is a risk factor for VTE amongst patients with AAV. We retrospectively analysed outcomes of patients with a new diagnosis of AAV from a UK cohort. All confirmed cases of VTE where CMV IgG serology was available were recorded. Retrospective collection of the same data for patients at a North American centre was used as a validation cohort. VTE was common with 12% of patients from the study cohort (total 259 patients) developing an event during the median follow-up period of 8.5 years of which 60% occurred within the first 12 months following diagnosis. Sixteen percent of CMV seropositive patients developed a VTE compared with 5% of patients who were seronegative (p = 0.007) and CMV seropositivity remained an independent predictor of VTE in multivariable analysis (HR 2.96 [1.094–8.011] p = 0.033). CMV seropositivity at diagnosis was confirmed as a significant risk factor for VTE in the American validation cohort (p = 0.032). VTE is common in patients with AAV, especially within the first year of diagnosis. Past infection with CMV is an independent risk factor associated with VTE in AAV.
