ABSTRACT
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is potentially the most important pathogen affecting organ transplant recipients. The overall incidence of documented CMV infection after liver transplantation ranges from 23% to 85%. Approximately 15~40% of infected patients develop CMV disease such as pneumonia, hepatitis, gastrointestinal involvement, central nervous system involvement, retinitis, or nephritis. The gastrointestinal tract is one of the least common sites of CMV disease and usually presents as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. We report a case of a 45-year-old man with end-stage liver disease who developed CMV colitis 6 weeks after deceased donor whole liver transplantation with a review of the relevant literature.
