Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in recipients of organ transplantation. CMV can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. CMV gastritis has been reported in transplant patients. We present a case of CMV gastritis with postural epigastric pain, which increased upon standing or walking and decreased in the supine position. A persistent or unexplained symptom of epigastric pain warrants further investigations by upper and/or lower endoscopies and biopsies, particularly in the early post-transplantation period.
