Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) esophagitis is well-documented in immunocompromised patients. A few studies have described CMV infection in immunocompetent patients diagnosed with a critical illness. However, CMV esophagitis has rarely been documented in immunocompetent hosts. We report a case of CMV esophagitis in an immunocompetent patient who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding that was successfully resolved with valganciclovir treatment. Our case supports observations that CMV esophagitis can cause significant morbidity, regardless of immune system status.
