Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by intermittent flares of disease activity. Exacerbations have been associated with cytomegalovirus superinfection. We report the case of a pregnant woman who experienced a severe flare, producing toxic megacolon. Cytomegalovirus infection during this flare was subsequently confirmed. Maternofetal transmission of the virus occurred and the fetus showed the lesions characteristic of this infection.
