|---|---|
| Biological Significance | CMV is a common virus in the herpes virus family. CMV is spread by direct contact of body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. |
| Implications in Disease | Most people infected with CMV who are otherwise healthy experience few if any symptoms. When first infected, some adults may have symptoms similar to mononucleosis, including fatigue, fever and muscle aches. An illness resembling infectious mononucleosis is the most common presentation of CMV in people with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised). CMV also can attack specific organs. Signs and symptoms may include: Fever, Pneumonia, Diarrhea, Ulcers in the digestive tract, Hepatitis, Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), Behavioral changes, Seizures, Coma, Visual impairment and blindness. Newborns infected with CMV in the womb (congenital CMV), babies who become infected during birth or shortly after birth (perinatal CMV) such as through breast-feeding and people with weakened immune systems are more at risk of developing signs and symptoms than are healthy adults. |
