Symptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection usually affects immunocompromised patients, such as transplant recipients. From that point of view, the patient with endstage renal disease under maintenance dialysis is considered as immunocompetent. Thus, opportunistic infections, such as CMV infection, is not systematicaly searched in these patients, despite that an impaired cellular immunity has been reported in dialysis patients. We report a case of CMV esophagitis, clinically symptomatic, in a patient endstage renal disease under peritoneal dialysis, without other known immunosuppressive factors and with a good clinical response to gancyclovir treatment.
