dc.description.abstract | Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may rarely lead
to protein-losing gastropathy that presents with nausea,
vomiting, abdominal pain, and edema in immunocompetent children, but extremely rarely with only generalized
edema. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A previously healthy 5-year-old boy presented with generalized edema
without any other symptoms. He had hypoalbuminemia but
no proteinuria. He was evaluated for gastrointestinal protein
loss, and hypertrophic gastropathy was revealed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Meanwhile, CMV infection was detected by serologic tests and polymerase chain reaction in
the blood. He recovered spontaneously within a week. Conclusion: CMV-related protein-losing gastropathy may present with generalized edema without any gastrointestinal
symptoms. | |
