On the subject of viruses- a couple of years ago at a conference a speaker alluded to a case of an infant dying of CMV after being nursed by the mother's sister.  The inference was that the mother and hence baby were CMV negative, and the aunt was positive.  My memory is that he thought the baby was directly breastfed by the aunt (not just fed the milk).   I haven't found anything about this case in the literature - does anyone know if it is documented?   (Or for that matter, if there is any documented case of morbidity/mortality due to virus transmission in a noncommercial, nonbank, milksharing situation?)
