Abstract
- Congenital and perinatal CMV infection is the most common congenital/perinatal viral infection. Only 5 to 10% of affected patients has symptoms, and outcomes are highly vari-able. Gastrointestinal involvement is not usually a manifestation of congenital and perinatal CMV infection. We describe an infant with vomiting and poor weight gain caused by eso-phagitis attributed to perinatally acquired CMV infection.
