Adjusting therapy of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) regarding their cytomegalovirus (CMV)--status.. 40 patients were included, mean age--44.3 +/- 3.2 yo.

CMV-positive status rate was higher among patients on therapy with immunomodulators 3 (23.1%) vs 1 in patients on steroids and/or salicylates.
