Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society Ferguson, J., Mooney, K., Saleem, A., Stevens, B. A., Pinsky, B. A., Centkowski, S., Zaba, L. C., Ho, D. Y. 2021Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is common in organ transplant recipients and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Cutaneous CMV findings are rarely reported in the literature and diagnosis can be delayed if not clinically recognized. We describe a case of a female patient 20 years post renal transplant who presented with extensive ulcerative skin lesions and diarrhea. She rapidly deteriorated and died on day 5 of hospitalization. Autopsy noted extensive CMV involvement of skin and gastrointestinal (GI) tract by CMV-specific immunohistochemistry.
