Severe cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompetent patients is unusual with colitis being its main manifestation. It occurs predominantly in elderly patients with high burden of comorbidities. A case of a woman with acute heart failure and coronary heart disease who had lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to cytomegalovirus colitis in the absence of apparent immunosuppression is presented.
