cytomegalovirus infection in a patient with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (lad-1) is a rare autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disorder, characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections without pus formation. herein, we report a case of lad-1 that developed into gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus (cmv) disease and manifested with persistent abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. although the presence of concurrent gastrointestinal cmv infection with lad-1 is a rare condition, this case highlights the need for further research to evaluate the complex mechanisms between lad-1 and cmv occurrence.
