Cytomegalovirus Colitis
Presentation
- If stenotic lesions are present, surgery may be required not only to remove the obstruction but also to rule out malignancy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Recurrent Bacterial Infection
- Although there was amelioration of the colitis and clinical status after treatment with ganciclovir, the patient later deteriorated and died due to recurrent bacterial infections.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ascitic Fluid
- Diagnosis of lupus peritonitis was made by abdominal computed tomography scan, colonoscopy, and ascitic fluid analysis. Steroid and cyclophosphamide therapy resulted in the improvement of severe lupus nephritis and peritonitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
Diarrhea
- An 84-year-old male presented with chronic diarrhea and CMV colitis; he had been experiencing protracted diarrhea since 2006. In October 2009 he failed a 21-day course of valgancyclovir 900 mg orally twice daily.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chronic Diarrhea
- Other pathogens should be considered in patients with chronic diarrhea who are refractory to initial treatments.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The infectious disease team was consulted and it was determined that in the context of the patient's HIV infection, AIDS and resultant immunosuppression, CMV infection was contributing to chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, and formation of a colovesical[cureus.com]

Chronic Watery Diarrhea
- Chronic watery diarrhea was present in all the patients with colitis but was also present in 65% of the patients without colitis.[link.springer.com]
Rectal Mass
- We report a case in which a previously healthy man presented with hematochezia and an obstructing rectal mass thought to be rectal adenocarcinoma.[acgcasereports.gi.org]
Hyperactive Bowel Sounds
- Physical exam revealed a cachectic male with hyperactive bowel sounds without any abdominal tenderness or organomegaly.[acgcasereports.gi.org]

- A woman with peripheral vascular disease developed cytomegalovirus colitis following repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Heart Disease
- He had the underlying end-stage renal disease, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension and gout. Colonoscopy revealed multiple clean base ulcers at rectum and sigmoid colon.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Hyperactivity
- Physical exam revealed a cachectic male with hyperactive bowel sounds without any abdominal tenderness or organomegaly.[acgcasereports.gi.org]
Workup
- Workup for Clostridium difficile and all enteric pathogens were negative. The patient remained febrile with abdominal pain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Coverage begins with the patient's first visit and proceeds through the diagnostic workup: endoscopy, radiologic testing, and instruments for rating and classifying inflammatory bowel disease.[books.google.de]
- Workup revealed intussusception with associated pneumatosis. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Pathologic examination revealed cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis.[austinpublishinggroup.com]

Serum
Microcytic Anemia
- Blood investigations showed normal white cell count (5400/μL) with normal differential, microcytic anemia with hemoglobin 10 g/dL, and hypoalbuminemia with otherwise normal liver enzymes.[acgcasereports.gi.org]
Microbiology
Staphylococcus Aureus
- CASE PRESENTATION: We are presenting a 72-year-old African-American male transferred to our intensive care unit (ICU) with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, respiratory failure, and dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Colonoscopy
Colitis
- Our experience suggests that biopsies may be necessary to detect CMV and the prompt management of CMV colitis should be instituted when intractable ischemic colitis is observed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
- CONCLUSION: In IBD patients with active CMV colitis, antiviral treatment seems to have a marginal impact in the short term, during the treatment of the acute phase, but it may have some beneficial effect in maintaining remission up to 1 year of follow-up[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Despite aggressive clinical manifestations, the prognosis of CMV colitis is good if diagnosed and treated early.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In patients without immunocompromised status, the prognosis appears to be age dependent, with patients older than 55 years having a higher mortality. Males and patients who need surgery also have a poorer prognosis.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
- […] the case of a patient who presented with abdominal pain 4 years after heart transplantation; clinical and x-ray findings were suggestive of a neoplastic or ischemic stenosis, and histopathological examination likewise initially suggested an ischemic etiology[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Physical exam is often not specific to the diagnosis of CMV colitis; fever in these patients can be indicative of an infectious etiology.[clinicaladvisor.com]
- (Etiology) Cytomegalovirus Gastroenteritis/Colitis disease is an indication of a frail immune system (which is caused by other medical conditions or viral infections).[dovemed.com]
