Cytomegalovirus Gastroenteritis treatment in Mexicali

Cytomegalovirus gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the digestive tract caused by this virus, which tends to cause more problems in people with weakened defenses. It affects the lining of the stomach or intestine and can cause persistent digestive discomfort.

Common symptoms:

• Diarrhea, sometimes prolonged
• Abdominal pain and nausea
• Loss of appetite and general malaise

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable in the case of persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of dehydration, especially in people with a compromised immune system.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the infectious disease specialist evaluate this type of infection, with support from the general practitioner, the nutritionist during recovery and, in acute situations, the emergency physician. At digestive symptoms that do not improve, consulting in a timely manner is the most appropriate course.
