Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common posttransplant infection, most commonly seen in settings of excessive immunosuppression. Before the advent of CMV specific antiviral therapies, the standard treatment approaches for CMV disease were immunosuppression reductions to let the transplant recipient mount an immunologic response against CMV. Additionally, CMV is rarely identified as causing stricturing enteritis and has not previously been reported as causing stricturing enteritis in an adult transplant recipient. All identified reports of stricturing CMV enteritis have been reported in either pediatric patient populations or those with severe immunosuppression from human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Our report presents the unusual case of an adult liver transplant recipient many years after transplant and on minimal immunosuppression with mycophenolate alone who developed stricturing CMV enteritis.
