ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are usually reported in immunocompromised patients. However, it occurs rarely in immunocompetent individuals. A case of CMV associated with stomach ulcers and mucosal nodules is reported in a immunocompetent host. A previously healthy 27-year-old man visited our hospital with a thirty-day history of epigastric pain and a nine-day history of vomiting. The demonstration of intranuclear inclusion bodies in a few gastric glandular epithelial cells contributed to the diagnosis of CMV gastritis. Treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and ganciclovir was successful to mitigate the epigastric pain and vomiting.
