Cytomegalovirus Colitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cytomegalovirus colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine caused by cytomegalovirus, a virus that tends to significantly affect people with weakened defenses.
Risk context: It appears most often in those with a compromised immune system, for example after a transplant or due to diseases that affect the defenses.
Common symptoms: Diarrhea, which may contain blood, abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss.
When to see a doctor? When there is persistent bloody diarrhea, intense abdominal pain, or general malaise in a person with weakened defenses, evaluation should not be postponed. The gastroenterologist is the one who studies the intestine and confirms the origin of the condition, so it is worth consulting them in a timely manner.
