ABSTRACT
Cytomegaloviurs (CMV) usually causes severe infection only in immunocompromised patients. However, in rare cases, gastrointestinal infection can occur in patients with normal immunity. Though most such patients recover spontaneously, major complications such as massive hemorrhage have also been reported. We report a case of massive hemorrhage in an immunocompetent elderly patient which was successfully treated with angiographic embolization.
