Cytomegalovirus infection and gastric emptying.

Abstract:

:Gastrointestinal infection due to cytomegalovirus occurs frequently in liver transplant recipients. Upper gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection is associated with subjective complaints of nausea, a sense of abdominal fullness, and occasionally emesis and/or dysphagia. In order to determine whether these symptoms reflect a disruption of the normal motility of the stomach, the following study was performed. Eleven individuals who were evaluated for liver transplantation were prospectively recruited and studied as follows: (1) upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy of the gastric antral mucosa; (2) viral culture of the gastric mucosa; (3) a histologic examination of the gastric mucosa; and (4) a radionuclide gastric emptying study was obtained before and 4-8 weeks following successful liver transplantation. Prior to liver transplantation, none had symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or epigastric fullness. All were culture-negative for cytomegalovirus. All had endoscopic and histologic evidence of portal hypertensive gastropathy but none had antral erosions or ulcers. All demonstrated normal gastric emptying of a liquid meal. Following liver transplantation, 6 remained free of gastric cytomegalovirus while 5 developed a culture-confirmed gastric cytomegalovirus infection. Those that developed a gastric cytomegalovirus infection also had more gastric symptoms, and more gastric histologic abnormalities. Moreover, those with a gastric cytomegalovirus infection demonstrated enhanced gastric retention of a liquid meal (P less than 0.01).
