Rectal prolapse associated with cytomegalovirus pseudomembranous colitis in a child infected by human immunodeficiency virus. The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 2003 Sep; 34(3): 583-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/32151The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health.We report a newly recognized presentation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) enterocolitis in a 4-year-old girl with newly diagnosed HIV disease who presented with rectal prolapse. Gross findings showed multiple whitish punctate lesions. An endoscopic examination revealed multiple shallow ulcers and pseudomembranes along the colon. A biopsy from colonic tissues demonstrated CMV-like inclusion bodies. A direct immunofluorescence assay using specific CMV monoclonal antibody was positive for CMV-infected cells in specimens from the rectal smear.engChild, PreschoolCytomegalovirus Infections --complicationsEnterocolitis, Pseudomembranous --complicationsFemaleHIV Infections --complicationsHumansRectal Prolapse --virologyCase Reports
