A case report of cytomegalovirus associated gastritis

Abstract

Cytomegalovirus is one of the most common viral pathogens, which, in some cases, leads to organ specific infections such as gastrointestinal manifestations that have a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. However, cytomegalovirus infection is rare in an immunocompetent host. Herein, we report a case of cytomegalovirus gastritis in a 54-year-old immunocompetent patient, diagnosed through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsies and serology.
