*Upper GI [[endoscopy]] will reveal ulcers in the distal [[esophagus]] and diagnosis is confirmed by the demonstration of characteristic intranuclear [[inclusion bodies]] in the [[endothelial cells]] of the [[biopsy]] specimen. Culture of [[cytomegalovirus]] from the esophageal [[biopsy]] is not sufficient to confirm the diagnosis in the absence of microscopic findings as majority of patients with low [[CD4]] counts have positive culture.
