Another cause of bloody diarrhoea in infancy: cytomegalovirus colitis in an immunocompetent child

R Hinds et al. J Paediatr Child Health. 2004 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Although a ubiquitous pathogen, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is very rarely thought to be the cause of significant gastrointestinal infection in the immunocompetent child. We report the case of a 2-month-old infant who presented with bloody diarrhoea and severe dehydration, which was subsequently diagnosed as CMV enterocolitis and resolved spontaneously without antiviral treatment.
