title: Severe pancreatitis in an AIDS patient in association with cytomegalovirus infection.
abstract: We have reported a case of pancreatitis caused by CMV in an AIDS patient. Although CMV has caused clinical disease of other gastrointestinal organs, pancreatic involvement has previously been demonstrated only in autopsy specimens. The etiology of "idiopathic" pancreatitis in AIDS patients should be investigated, as therapeutic intervention may be available for some of these persons.
