Abstract

Background/aim: The mortality rate for alimentary tract hemorrhage remains high due to a variety of contributing factors. In this report, we present a case of post-severe trauma patient with life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced damage to the terminal ileum.

Case report: A 76-year-old female with a history of hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding developed CMV ileitis post-severe trauma. Despite negative CMV IgM antibodies, PCR testing confirmed CMV infection in the biopsy tissue. Histopathological examination revealed viral inclusion bodies, with immunohistochemistry confirming CMV presence.

Results: Intravenous ganciclovir effectively managed symptoms and halted bleeding. CMV ileitis, typically seen in immunocompromised states, may occur sporadically in immunocompetent individuals, including post-orthopedic surgery patients. The exact mechanism remains unclear, possibly related to surgical stress. Diagnosis relies on histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion: Early recognition and treatment are vital for optimal outcomes, emphasizing the need for awareness among orthopedic surgeons regarding CMV as a potential cause of postoperative complications.

严重创伤后患者的巨细胞病毒性回肠炎：病例报告。

背景/目的：由于多种诱因，消化道出血的死亡率一直居高不下。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例严重创伤后患者因巨细胞病毒（CMV）引起的回肠末端损伤而导致的危及生命的消化道出血：一名有高血压和消化道出血病史的 76 岁女性在严重创伤后患上了 CMV 回肠炎。尽管 CMV IgM 抗体呈阴性，但 PCR 检测证实活检组织中存在 CMV 感染。组织病理学检查发现了病毒包涵体，免疫组化证实了 CMV 的存在：结果：静脉注射更昔洛韦有效控制了症状并止住了出血。CMV 回肠炎通常见于免疫功能低下的状态，但也可能偶发于免疫功能正常的个体，包括矫形手术后的患者。确切的发病机制尚不清楚，可能与手术应激有关。诊断依赖于组织病理学和免疫组化：结论：早期识别和治疗对获得最佳疗效至关重要，强调骨科医生需要认识到 CMV 是导致术后并发症的潜在原因。
