  • Title: Cytomegalovirus: associated ischemic colitis in an immunocompetent patient.
    Author: Puerta A, Priego P, Galindo J.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 2017 Sep; 109(9):671. PubMed ID: 28747055.
    Abstract:
    Cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis is a common entity in immunocompromised patients, being rare among immunocompetent individuals. In addition, its association with ischemic colitis is unusual in both groups of population. Rectal bleeding might occur in both entities and, occasionally, urgent surgical treatment may be required, associating high morbility rates. We report one case of cytomegalovirus colitis associated with severe ischemic colitis in a non- immunocompromised patient with favourable response to conservative management with antiviral therapy.
