Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common opportunistic infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients in the first 6 months after transplant. Late onset CMV infection or disease outside the classical risk period is uncommon and can present with atypical signs and symptoms. Here, we report a case of late onset CMV presenting as a colonic stricture more than 10 years after liver transplantation in the absence of traditional CMV risk factors. We also briefly review CMV colitis presenting as a mass or stricture in SOT recipients.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)是实体器官移植(SOT)受者在移植后最初6个月内常见的机会性感染。在经典风险期之外发生的迟发性CMV感染或疾病并不常见,可能表现为非典型的体征和症状。在此,我们报告一例肝移植10多年后出现结肠狭窄的迟发性CMV病例,该病例不存在传统的CMV风险因素。我们还简要回顾了SOT受者中表现为肿块或狭窄的CMV结肠炎。
