Disseminated cytomegalovirus infection occurs predominantly in immunocompromised hosts. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is frequent, but to our knowledge there is only one report of involvement of the appendix. In this study, a patient with a history of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who presented with fever and an acute abdomen is described. At surgery, appendicitis was found. In the surgical specimen, appendicitis and cytomegalovirus infection were found. Cytomegalovirus should be considered as a possible cause of appendicitis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
播散性巨细胞病毒感染主要发生在免疫功能低下的宿主中。胃肠道受累在获得性免疫缺陷综合征中很常见，但据我们所知，仅有一篇关于阑尾受累的报道。在本研究中，描述了一名有获得性免疫缺陷综合征病史、出现发热和急腹症的患者。手术时发现为阑尾炎。在手术标本中，发现了阑尾炎和巨细胞病毒感染。巨细胞病毒应被视为获得性免疫缺陷综合征中阑尾炎的一个可能病因。
