Diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection in pediatric Menetrier's disease by in situ hybridization

J A Hochman et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1996 Oct.

Abstract

A previously healthy 7-year-old boy presented with a protein-losing enteropathy secondary to a hypertrophic gastropathy. The diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was established by detection of CMV inclusion bodies in gastric biopsy samples and by hybridization with a CMV probe. This report further strengthens the association between CMV and pediatric Menetrier's disease.
