A patients with a cytomegalovirus (CMV) post-transfusion syndrome developed upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding; subsequently, a gastric ulcer was found. CMV was searched for in the gastroscopic biopsy material because the gastric ulcer had occurred in a setting of CMV mononucleosis. CMV cells were found in gastroscopic biopsy sections and CMV was also cultured from biopsy material. This study illustrates the feasibility of antemortem diagnosis of CMV-associated disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the cause of infectious mononucleosis, which is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, and sore throat. On the other hand, gastrointestinal symptoms of EBV infection like dyspepsia, abdominal pain are non-specific and rarely encountered, which means it is difficult to diagnose gastric involvement of EBV infection without suspicion. The relation between gastric carcinoma and gastric lymphoma associated with EBV infection is well defined, but relations with other EBV-associated gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis and peptic ulcer disease have rarely been reported. We report a case of benign gastric ulcer with EBV infection confirmed by endoscopic and histological findings.
