ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus is the most common viral infection after kidney transplantation. Clinical presentations of Cytomegalovirus infection range from asymptomatic infection to organ-specific involvement. Most symptomatic infections manifest as fever and cyto-penia. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site of tissue-invasive infection, often presenting as diarrhea or gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastrointestinal obstruction, perforation, thrombosis of large gastrointestinal veins, splenic artery thrombosis, and pancreatitis are rare gastrointestinal presentations of Cytomegalovirus infection. Renal-allograft ureteral stricture and skin involvement are other rare presentations of Cytomegalovirus infection. Hemophagocytic syndrome, thrombotic microangiopathy, adrenal insufficiency, and renal allograft artery stenosis are other rare symptoms of cy-tomegalovirus infection
