Abstract
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) commonly infects immunocompromised patient, including those with malignant disease, immunosuppression (particularly that induced by steroid therapy), organ transplantation AIDS. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is often associated with disseminated infection. Enteric involvement is expressed by inflammation, hemorhage, and ulceration. CMV is postulated to cause submucosal capillary and arteriolor vasculitis that can result in ischemic injury. CMV induced gastritic and colonic ulcers have not previously been reported in Korea. We report a patient of malignancy who had gastric & colonic ulcers assoicated with CMV infection whieh showed chracteristic histological finding of CMV infection in biopsed specimen.
