Core Tip	The cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia (AG) test is useful for monitoring recipients for posttransplantation CMV infection. Although the AG-positivity rate in CMV gastroenteritis is known to be low at onset, most cases become positive during the disease course. We managed a patient with a complicated condition with a transverse colon perforation caused by AG-negative CMV gastroenteritis, after a living donor liver transplantation. This case report presents a method that could be important monitoring for AG-negative CMV gastroenteritis after solid-organ transplantation.
