Esophagatis and perinatal cytomegalovirus infection. 2001

M Weinstein, and E Ford-Jones, and E Cutz
The Hospital for Sick Childeren, Toronto, Canada.

A 6-week-old male infant presented to hospital with a large upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Endoscopic biopsies of his esophagus and duodenum showed cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusions and CMV early antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry. There were no other signs of congenital CMV infection. This case adds to the clinical spectrum of perinatal CMV infection and may be more common than is currently recognized.
