Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that is associated with clinically significant disease in patients with advanced immunosuppression, particularly those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). End-organ disease with CMV is classically associated with a CD4 cell count less than 50 cells/microliter. CMV colitis is the second most common manifestation of end-organ disease in this patient population. ⋯ These cases describe gastrocolic, enterocutaneous, enterocolic, rectovaginal, and colocutaneous fistulae. However, colovesical fistula has not been described previously. Here, we report the first case of CMV-associated colovesical fistula in a patient with HIV infection and AIDS.
