  • Title: [Colitis due to cytomegalovirus in a dialysis patient].
    Author: Tabernero G, Fernández M, Teruel JL, Redondo C, Echarri R, Ortuuño J.
    Journal: Nefrologia; 2004; 24(3):279-82. PubMed ID: 15283319.
    Abstract:
    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an ubiquitous agent and a pathogen in all age groups. Although CMV disease in normal adults is not very usual, the virus is well known to produce severe symptoms, mostly in immunocompromised patients. Chronic hemodialysed patients constitute a risk population for developing CMV infection, nevertheless, clinical manifestations are not usual. One chronic renal failure patient who developed acute and severe colitis due to CMV infection is presented. Of interest are, the rarity of this case, the favorable clinical course after the treatment and the differential diagnosis with other gastrointestinal disorders frequently found in renal patients.
