CMV Gastrointestinal Disease treatment in León

CMV gastrointestinal disease is an infection of the digestive tract caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV), which tends to show up when the body's defenses are weakened. It can affect different sections of the digestive tract, from the esophagus to the intestine.

Common causes: reactivation of or infection with cytomegalovirus, especially in people with a compromised immune system.

Common symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhea, difficulty or pain when swallowing and, at times, blood in the stool.

Who should you see? The gastroenterologist studies the digestive tract and provides guidance on intestinal involvement in these cases. If you have persistent digestive discomfort, especially when there is a condition that lowers the defenses, the sensible course is for a professional to evaluate you without delay.
