Five cases of Cytomegalovirus (CVM) related rectal bleeding in patients diagnosed with Covid-19 have been reported from Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital today. The official report stated that this is the first-ever post-Covid complication case has registered. Patients with Cytomegalovirus have complained of bleeding in stools and abdominal pain.

Sources said that the cases have emerged in the second wave of infections this year. One of the patients has succumbed to massive bleeding and Covid chest disease. The hospital officially conduct a press conference as stated,

“During the second wave of the Covid-19 in April-May 2021, we have seen five cases of CMV infection in otherwise immunocompetent patients with Covid-19. These patients presented with pain abdomen and bleeding in stools with a mean of 20 to 30 days after the diagnosis of Covid-19,” a statement released by the hospital read. None of them had other predisposing immunosuppressed states accounting for this viral infection, the statement added.

The cases are mostly found in the age group of 30-70 years from Delhi-NCR.  Four patients have complained of lower gastrointestinal bleed which is bleeding in stools and one patient presented with intestinal obstruction. Of the five patients, two reported massive bleed, with one requiring emergency life-saving surgery in which the side of the colon has been removed.

Three patients have been successfully treated with antiviral therapy with ganciclovir, Dr Arora said in a statement. He further informed that “Three patients have been successfully treated with antiviral therapy with ganciclovir,”

“In such cases of high index of suspicion and timely intervention in the form of an early diagnosis and effective antiviral therapy can save many precious lives, says Dr Praveen Sharma of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital said.
