Core Tip	Cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis is rare in immunocompetent patients, but colitis is the main clinical manifestation. The Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection and CMV colitis symptoms might be indistinguishable clinically. Therefore, it is difficult to consider their co-existence in patients suspected of C. difficile infection. If a patient treated with C. difficile infection does not show clinical improvement, the possibility of co-existing CMV colitis should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses. Sigmoidoscopy with biopsy is crucial in diagnosing co-existing CMV and C. difficile infection colitis.
