  • Title: Cytomegalovirus oesophagitis in a patient with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    Author: Hingmire SS, Biswas G, Bakshi A, Desai S, Dighe S, Nair R, Gupta S, Parikh PM.
    Journal: Indian J Med Microbiol; 2008; 26(1):79-80. PubMed ID: 18227606.
    Abstract:
    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is frequent in immunocompromised patients, especially in AIDS, organ transplantation and rarely in Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We present a case of NHL with CMV oesophagitis, which has rarely been documented in literature. Apart from fungal and herpes simplex infections, as the common differential diagnosis for oesophagitis in patients of lymphoma, CMV should be considered an important etiologic agent. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of CMV oesophagitis with gancyclovir can avert significant morbidity and avoid unacceptable treatment delays.
