  • Title: Another cause of bloody diarrhoea in infancy: cytomegalovirus colitis in an immunocompetent child.
    Author: Hinds R, Brueton MJ, Francis N, Fell JM.
    Journal: J Paediatr Child Health; 2004; 40(9-10):581-2. PubMed ID: 15367158.
    Abstract:
    Although a ubiquitous pathogen, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is very rarely thought to be the cause of significant gastrointestinal infection in the immunocompetent child. We report the case of a 2-month-old infant who presented with bloody diarrhoea and severe dehydration, which was subsequently diagnosed as CMV enterocolitis and resolved spontaneously without antiviral treatment.
