Case Reports
A multiple gastric ulcer case caused by cytomegalovirus infection
Tokushima J Exp Med.
1996 Dec.
Abstract
The patient was a 31 year old male complaining discomfort in the epigastrium. Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract indicated multiple gastric ulcers. Biopsy specimen taken from the ulcerous region indicated giant cells accompanying intranuclear inclusion bodies in the gastric mucosa. Since the patient tested positive to cytomegalovirus (CMV)-IgM antibody, he was assumed to have gastric ulcers caused by CMV infection. However, the patient was cured without the administration of antiviral agent because no definite immunodeficiency status was observed. The result of present study indicated that endoscopic biopsy is useful for diagnosing gastrointestinal lesion attributable to CMW infection.
