Cytomegalovirus inclusion disease. Its occurrence in the myenteric plexus of a renal transplant patient.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infected the myenteric plexus of the small and large bowels in an 18-year-old renal transplant patient. This is, to our knowledge, a previously unreported condition. The patient died of a massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which possibly resulted from a series of CMV cecal ulcers associated with Candida fungal hyphae and spores.
