Abstract

Cytomegalovirus esophagitis mostly occurs in immunodeficient and severely acutely ill patients. Moreover, this diagnosis should be considered in otherwise healthy patients that experience reflux esophagitis symptom worsening under active CMV infectious mononucleosis. Antiviral therapy and screening for immunodeficiency may be considered; however, more studies are needed to support this claim.
