Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are both immune-mediated complications that affect orthotopic liver transplantation patients. In this report, we present a 60-year-old man who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for cryptogenic cirrhosis with serologies notable for CMV-seropositive donor and seronegative recipient. His post-transplant course was initially complicated by probable refractory CMV colitis. However, his gastrointestinal symptoms persisted, eventually leading to a diagnosis of post-transplant de novo IBD. The discussion highlights theories regarding the association between CMV and IBD, a topic that has been widely debated for decades.
