Successful therapy for severe cytomegalovirus gastritis in a diabetic woman

摘要

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) gastritis is very rare in immuno-competent persons. CMV infection of the gastrointestinal tract is frequent and may be serious in immunocompromised patients.1 Symptoms of CMV gastritis are usually epigastral-gia, fever, and bleeding. We report a diabetic patient with diffuse gastritis caused by CMV, which responded significantly to ganciclovir therapy.
