BACKGROUND: The association of.
C: ytomegalovirus (CMV) infection with ulcerative colitis (UC) still remains a controversial topic for the clinicians. Aim: In this study, we aimed to elucidate the CMV infection related parameters in the exacerbation of UC.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 812 UC patients who have admitted to our institution between June 2008 and November 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. CMV infection was diagnosed by the detection of CMV DNA with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in tissue biopsies with presence of clinical colitis symptoms. CMV negative UC patient group was defined as UC activation group with negative PCR results.
RESULT: A total of 153 patients met the inclusion criteria during the study period, with a median age of 41.8 years. CMV PCR positivity had been detected in tissue biopsy in 43 (28.1%) UC patients. CMV-positive patients had a statistically significant higher frequency of steroid resistance, treatment with azathioprine, longer disease duration, longer remission, and hospitalization day. The mean C-reactive protein (CRP) level, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were higher, and mean albumin level was lower in CMV positive patients, with statistically significance. Also, colectomy and anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) therapy were more frequent in CMV-reactivated group in long-term follow-up. In a multivariable model, steroid resistance, treatment with azathioprine, long disease duration, low albumin value was independently associated with colonic CMV infection.
CONCLUSION: Steroid resistance, treatment with azathioprine, long disease duration, low albumin levels were significant risk factors for CMV colitis, among patients with UC activation.
