[Post-necrotizing enterocolitis stenosis of the colon associated with cytomegalovirus infection. Description of a clinical case].

The histologic finding of Cytomegalovirus in the resected sigmoid colon rise the question if the intestinal stricture was the proper consequence of a primary enteric viral infection or a superinfection in a transitory immunodeficiency after the acute phase of necrotizing enterocolitis.
