Cytomegalovirus-associated esophageal stricture as a manifestation of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
IDCases 2020
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) esophagitis is well described in immunocompromised individuals, however, esophageal stricture due to CMV is rare. CMV disease in the setting of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) usually takes the form of an immune-recovery uveitis or retinitis. We describe a young female patient with HIV who developed an esophageal stricture due to CMV within 6 months of starting antiretroviral therapy (ART). The patient responded well to treatment which involved 14 days of intravenous ganciclovir and esophageal dilatation. This is the first description of a patient developing gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus disease as a manifestation of IRIS.
