Core Tip Viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract is a recognised complication of immunosuppression and in severe cases can lead to gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Although uncommon, synchronous infection with more than one viral agent is possible. Clinicians should have a low threshold for suspecting viral aetiology of mucosal inflammation and ulceration in immunosupressed patients and consider empirical antiviral therapy in immunosupressed patients.
