Abstract
A previously healthy 7-year-old boy presented with a protein-losing en teropathy secondary to a hypertrophic gastropathy. The diagnosis of cy tomegalovirus (CMV) infection was established by detection of CMV incl usion bodies in gastric biopsy samples and by hybridization with a CMV probe. This report further strengthens the association between CMV an d pediatric Menetrier's disease.
