Abstract

Endoscopically detected ulcers and submucous haemorrhage are common findings related to cytomegalovirus infection. We report a case of cytomegalovirus colitis in a patient seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus. Endoscopic findings showed elevated, white-yellowish, small size plaques with an erythematous central depression, resembling those found in pseudomembranous colitis.
