Gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection in persons with HIV: a retrospective case series study
GI-CMV infection primarily affects PWH with profound immunosuppression (CD4 < 50 cells/µL) and inadequate or absent ART. These patients frequently have other AIDS-defining illnesses and CMV end-organ diseases, complicating their management. For PWH with GI-CMV infection, clinicians should address not only CMV itself but also coexisting conditions arising from advanced immunodeficiency to improve outcomes.
