“…2,3 Invasive disease with gastrointestinal involvement is rare in primary CMV infection, with only a few cases reported in the literature. 4,5 After the resolution of the primary infection, CMV can persist in its human host for years. This is made possible by a myriad of immune evasion molecules that the virus encodes, enabling it to remain dormant in its host's myeloid cells and stem cells for life.…”

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) belongs to the Herpesviridae family, and it is considered the largest virus to infect humans. Primary CMV infection frequently targets immunodeficient patients and is often symptomatic. However, it may remain latent or clinically unapparent for years in immunocompetent individuals. CMV infection rarely presents as an invasive disease in the latter group of individuals, in which case, the most common site of involvement in the gastrointestinal tract. When CMV affects the gastrointestinal tract, the colon and stomach are the 2 frequently involved sites. This case report describes a unique case of an immunocompetent patient who presented with acute excruciating periumbilical pain and was diagnosed with acute gastritis secondary to CMV infection and possible Helicobacter pylori–associated chronic active gastritis. Symptoms resolved entirely soon after treatment with antimicrobials that cover for both infections. The diagnosis was based on histopathologic findings from biopsies taken from the stomach during the endoscopic evaluation combined with positive CMV serology and positive CMV-deoxyribonucleic acid.
