Pediatric Ménétrier’s Disease Triggered by <i>Cytomegalovirus</i> Infection: A Rare Case of Severe Hypoalbuminemia and Edema

This case reinforces the known association between CMV and MD in children and highlights the variability of CMV detection via PCR or serology. Although pediatric MD is often self-limiting, antiviral therapy may be indicated in severe cases or when supportive care is insufficient. The presence of hypogammaglobulinemia in this case also raises questions about potential underlying immunodeficiency. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for CMV-associated MD in children with acute-onset edema and hypoalbuminemia, even when routine viral testing is negative.
