We present two cases of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who, in the course of their disease, suffered multiple intestinal perforations that were directly related to cytomegalovirus infection. Biopsy and surgical specimens and autopsy findings in both cases revealed extensive lesions of gastroenteritis; the gastroenteritis was characterized by randomly distributed deep ulcers, resulting in multiple perforations. The main characteristic histopathologic finding was the association of intestinal lesions with a severe form of cytomegalovirus-related occlusive vasculitis. This report provides evidence that supports the contention that cytomegalovirus is the primary causal agent of gastrointestinal lesions affecting immunocompromised patients.
