Cytomegalovirus-associated ileal stricture in a preterm neonate
Abstract:
Gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations of post-natally acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) in preterm neonates can vary from mild diarrhoea to severe necrotising enterocolitis. However, the suspicion of CMV-related GI disease remains low. Mild CMV disease localised to the GI tract may go undiagnosed initially until a more obvious complication such as strictures manifest. A case of CMV-associated enteritis in an extremely preterm neonate is presented. The diagnosis was established after the histopathology of the surgical specimen showed the presence of CMV inclusion bodies. Testing the stool specimen for CMV to establish the diagnosis when the pathology is limited to the GI tract is also discussed.

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
