Abstract

Cytomegalic inclusions, characteristic of infection with cytomegalovirus, were found in the hypertrophic gastric mucosa of a 3½-year-old child with giant hypertrophic gastritis and protein loss in the gastrointestinal tract (Menetrier disease). There was a tardy 16-fold rise of complement fixation titers against cytomegalovirus soon after the acute phase of the illness. To our knowledge, the association of Menetrier disease and cytomegalovirus has been reported only once before.
