  • Title: [Association of cytomegalovirus colitis and the 1st episode of ulcerative colitis in an immunocompetent patient].
    Author: Maté del Tío M, Peña Sánchez de Rivera JM, Larrauri Martínez J, Garcés Jiménez MC, Barbado Hernández FJ.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Hepatol; 1996 Apr; 19(4):206-7. PubMed ID: 8665359.
    Abstract:
    Colitis by cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an inflammation of the large bowel which leads to mucous and submucous ulceration producing bloody diarrhea of uncertain evolution. This disease is well known in immunosuppressed (IS) patients but is very rare in immunocompetent (IC) patients, particularly in association with the initiation of the ulcerative colitis (UC). The case of an immunocompetent male who developed UC following colitis by primary CMV is presented. Although the immunologic mechanism of UC is undoubtable, this case suggests the possibility of CMV being a triggering factor of UC.
