This is a rare case of cytomegalovirus disease in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and splenic necrosis.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Cytomegalovirus infection, which can occur as a result of reactivation due to immunosuppressive treatment in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, is a serious condition that should be kept in mind because of its fatal course.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In this article, we report a 49-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis who developed a life-threatening colonic ulcer due to cytomegalovirus colitis and a shrunken spleen with irregular contours that was detected on abdominal computed tomography.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:This is a rare case of cytomegalovirus disease in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and splenic necrosis.
