title: Cytomegalovirus Peritonitis Without Gut Perforation But With Concomitant Colitis After a Liver Allograft Transplant.
abstract: We present a 24-year-old man who developed primary cytomegalovirus peritonitis without gut perforation, but with concomitant colitis 6 weeks after liver transplant from a deceased donor for end-stage liver disease because of primary sclerosing cholangitis. The patient was treated only medically, with no need for surgery, and is well at 12 months. This case represents the need for suspicious for cytomegalovirus peritonitis in the appropriate setting in post liver transplant even in the absence of perforation.
