摘要
We describe a case of systemic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in an ulcerative colitis patient admitted to the hospital for an acute flare-up of his colitis. He was treated with combination immunosuppresive therapy including IV cyclosporine and corticosteroids and PO azathioprine. Severe bilateral stabbing knee pain was the only manifestation of CMV disease, which quickly responded to adequate antiviral therapy.
