| Abstract |
|
Here we present 7 cases of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) gastrointestinal infection following renal transplantation. Patients visited
the clinic with variable symptoms, such as epigastric pain, fever, and melena. Detection of CMV early antigenemia and endoscopic
biopsies were performed to diagnose CMV gastrointestinal infection. After diagnosis, patients were treated with Ganciclovir and
their symptoms improved. We confirmed the negative conversion of CMV early antigenemia prior to discharge. (Korean J Med
