Cytomegalovirus colitis--an unusual cause for diarrhoea in an elderly woman.

BACKGROUND
Clinically apparent cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is uncommon in the immunocompetent host, despite the high seroprevalence rate of CMV in the general population.


CASE REPORT
Here, we report the case of CMV colitis in an immunocompetent elderly woman who developed a large pulmonary embolism during her illness.


DISCUSSION
The diagnosis of CMV colitis is made on histological examination of biopsy specimens obtained at sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Extensive CMV disease can be accompanied by vascular thrombosis.
