Cytomegalovirus CMV spreads from person to person by direct contact. Although CMV infection is usually harmless, it can cause severe disease in persons with weakened immune systems. There is no treatment for CMV infection. Prevention centers on good personal hygiene, especially frequent handwashing. What is cytomegalovirus? Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is a common virus that infects most people worldwide. CMV infection is usually harmless and rarely causes illness. A healthy immune system can hold the virus in check. However, if a person's immune system is seriously weakened in any way, the virus can become active and cause CMV disease. What is the infectious agent that causes cytomegalovirus infection? Cytomegalovirus is a member of the herpesvirus family. Other members of the herpesvirus family cause chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis, fever blisters, and genital herpes. These viruses all share the ability to remain alive, but dormant, in the body for life. A first infection with CMV usually causes no symptoms. The virus continues to live in the body silently without causing obvious damage or illness. It rarely becomes active for the first time or reactivates (causes illness again in the same person) unless the immune system weakens and is no longer able to hold the virus in check. Where is cytomegalovirus found?

National Center for Infectious Diseases Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection GENERAL INFORMATION Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is found universally throughout all geographic locations and socioeconomic groups, and infects between 50% and 85% of adults in the United States by 40 years of age. CMV is also the virus most frequently transmitted to a developing child before birth. CMV infection is more widespread in developing countries and in areas of lower socioeconomic conditions. For most healthy persons who acquire CMV after birth there are few symptoms and no long-term health consequences. Some persons with symptoms experience a mononucleosis-like syndrome with prolonged fever, and a mild hepatitis. Once a person becomes infected, the virus remains alive, but usually dormant within that person's body for life. Recurrent disease rarely occurs unless the person's immune system is suppressed due to therapeutic drugs or disease. Therefore, for the vast majority of people, CMV infection is not a serious problem. However, CMV infection is important to certain high-risk groups. Major areas of concern are (1) the risk of infection to the unborn baby during pregnancy, (2) the risk of infection to people who work with children, and (3) the risk of infection to the immunocompromised person, such as organ transplant recipients and persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

CMV spreads from one person to another in saliva (spit), semen, vaginal secretions, blood, urine, and breast milk. You can get CMV when you touch these fluids with your hands, then touch your nose or mouth. People can also get CMV through sexual contact, breastfeeding, blood transfusions, and organ transplants.

9. ADAP Drugs: Ganciclovir A treatment for CMV (cytomegalovirus) infection.(Cytovene, DHPG) http://www.atdn.org/access/drugs/ganc.html

ganciclovir (Cytovene, DHPG) Drug description Ganciclovir is a treatment for CMV (cytomegalovirus) infection. Most adults are infected with CMV. Like other infections, the virus which causes this condition takes advantage of a weakened immune system. Active CMV infection typically develops only when a person has a deficiency of cytotoxic T cells that recognize and target CMV-infected cells. CMV can infect different parts of the body, and CMV retinitis, a disease caused by this herpesvirus, can cause blindness. Hoffman-La Roche Laboratories, which makes Cytovene, has a Provisional Assistance Program that can be reached at (800) 444-4200. Side effects Ganciclovir suppresses bone-marrow production of the white blood cells called neutrophils. This condition is called neutropenia. Some people can take AZT with ganciclovir, especially if they are taking G-CSF to treat the neutropenia associated with both drugs. You must discontinue ddC until you are stable on ganciclovir. Ganciclovir can also harm the kidneys, reduce testosterone levels, and cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and rash. Dosage Ganciclovir is either given intravenously on a long-term basis through a catheter or in a pill form . A catheter is basically a tube. One end is surgically inserted into a large vein in your chest. The other end of the catheter remains outside your chest or has an injectable port just under the skin, providing access to your bloodstream so you can give yourself the drug. An oral form of ganciclovir is also approved by the FDA for prevention and maintenance treatment of CMV. Although the pill form may be very slightly less effective than the IV drug, doctors can now prescribe it if you choose not to have a permanent catheter. The dosage of the oral drug is 3 grams per day, which is 12 pills.

Conference Coverage New Mexico AIDS InfoNet Cytomegalovirus (CMV) February 26, 2005 What Is CMV? How Is CMV Treated? Can CMV Be Prevented? How Do I Choose a Treatment for CMV? ... The Bottom Line What Is CMV? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic infection. The virus is very common. Between 50% and 85% of the US population tests positive for CMV by the time they are 40 years old. A healthy immune system keeps this virus in check. When the immune defenses are weak, CMV can attack several parts of the body. This can be caused by various diseases including HIV. Combination antiviral therapy has reduced the rate of CMV in people with HIV by 75%. However, about 5% of people with HIV still develop CMV disease. The most common illness caused by CMV is retinitis. This is the death of cells in the retinas, the back of the eye. It can quickly cause blindness unless treated. CMV can spread throughout the body and infect several organs at once. The risk of CMV is highest when CD4 cell counts are below 50. It is rare in people with 100 or more T-cells. The first signs of CMV retinitis are vision problems such as moving black spots. These are called "floaters." They may indicate an inflammation of the retina. Patients may also notice light flashes, decreased or distorted vision, or blind spots. Some doctors recommend eye exams to catch CMV retinitis. The exams are done by an ophthalmologist (an eye specialist).
