The case report concerns a 2 years old girl with hypoproteinemia associated with gastritis. The child recovered completely 8 weeks later. Cytomegalovirus was excreted in urine. The authors suggest that such a clinical picture should not be called Menetrier's disease. The role of cytomegalovirus is discussed.
