Acute cytomegalovirus proctitis and epididymitis acquired via sexual transmission in an immunocompetent patient : a case report

© 2023. The Author(s)..

BACKGROUND: We present a case report of an immunocompetent host with presumed sexually transmitted cytomegalovirus proctitis and epididymitis, where there currently is a sparsity of published data.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 21-year-old previously healthy Caucasian individual was admitted for severe rectal and testicular pain in the setting of proctitis and epididymitis. Serology and rectal pathology confirmed acute primary cytomegalovirus infection.

CONCLUSIONS: This report details his diagnostic workup and highlights cytomegalovirus as a rare cause of sexually transmitted disease among immunocompetent persons.
