Résumé
COVID-19 is a severe disease that has reached pandemic status. To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first case of COVID-19 and cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection in a critically ill patient. We discuss the challenge of establishing the diagnosis as well as the management of tissue-invasive gastrointestinal CMV infection (TI-GI CMV) simulating vascular involvement and intestinal obstruction in a critically ill patient. We describe a case of COVID-19 and cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection in a critically ill patient.Clinical symptoms simulated mesenteric vascular involvement and intestinal obstruction.The successful management of invasive CMV colitis in a patient with COVID-19 with atypical symptoms is described.
