BACKGROUND/AIM: The mortality rate for alimentary tract hemorrhage remains high due to a variety of contributing factors. In this report, we present a case of post-severe trauma patient with life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced damage to the terminal ileum.
CASE REPORT: A 76-year-old female with a history of hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding developed CMV ileitis post-severe trauma. Despite negative CMV IgM antibodies, PCR testing confirmed CMV infection in the biopsy tissue. Histopathological examination revealed viral inclusion bodies, with immunohistochemistry confirming CMV presence.
RESULTS: Intravenous ganciclovir effectively managed symptoms and halted bleeding. CMV ileitis, typically seen in immunocompromised states, may occur sporadically in immunocompetent individuals, including post-orthopedic surgery patients. The exact mechanism remains unclear, possibly related to surgical stress. Diagnosis relies on histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
CONCLUSION: Early recognition and treatment are vital for optimal outcomes, emphasizing the need for awareness among orthopedic surgeons regarding CMV as a potential cause of postoperative complications.
