Cytomegalovirus Colitis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease The Eternal Debate: Foe or Innocent Bystander?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Key Takeaways: • The prevalence of CMV infection among patients with IBD ranges from 2 to 29%, with a higher prevalence in those with UC compared to CD. • Immunohistochemistry and tissue PCR, or both, are the recommended tests for diagnosing active CMV colitis. • CMV may be an active pathogenic participant in cases with a high density of CMV and severe disease activity. Thus, we recommend testing for CMV colitis in patients with a severe inflammatory burden who are not responding to conventional IBD therapy. • Patients with low CMV viral burden can likely be treated with immunosuppression alone, while patients with high viral density or medically refractory disease should be treated with antiviral therapy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
