Cytomegalovirus Colitis in a Patient with Severe Treatment Refractory Ulcerative Colitis.
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be reactivated in ulcerative colitis (UC), but its role in progression of inflammation is unclear. Risk factors include severe colitis and treatment with immunosuppressive medications, particularly corticosteroids and immunomodulators.
Methods: We report a case of cytomegalovirus colitis in a pediatric patient with pancolitis who had been refractory to aminosalicylate, infliximab, and ustekinumab and was in clinical remission and with transmural response on upadacitinib.
Results: This is a case of a 13-year-old male with UC refractory to multiple therapies who were in clinical remission on upadacitinib 30 mg daily. He developed an acute increase in symptoms and did not respond to therapy escalation with increased upadacitinib 45 mg daily for 2 weeks and prednisone for 1 week. He was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus colitis on flexible sigmoidoscopy biopsy. He was treated with intravenous ganciclovir with tapering of immunosuppressive regimen. Despite initial response, he underwent subtotal colectomy and subsequent restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal-anastomosis.
Conclusions: Despite our patient having multiple risk factors for developing CMV colitis, upadacitinib may have played a role when considering its known impact on the herpes family of viruses. CMV colitis should be evaluated for in any patient who presents with worsening symptoms without evidence of other infection or response to increase in therapy.
