CMV disease with gastrointestinal involvement in kidney transplantation. Report of a case
Keywords:
cytomegalovirus infection, colitis, monitoring, mortality, kidney transplantation
Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most important pathogen causing opportunistic infections in renal allograft recipients. The development of CMV disease is associated with increased morbidity, a higher incidence of other opportunistic infections, loss of allografts, and death. Therefore, an effective strategy is required to prevent CMV disease after kidney transplantation. We present the case of a patient who suffers from a severe gastrointestinal condition due to the pathogen itself with subsequent adequate clinical evolution.
