    Extractions: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpes virus family, is a very common infection and most healthy people, especially children, who have a CMV infection will have few, if any, symptoms. It is found all over the world, and it usually causes no symptoms, especially in healthy children. In the United States, 1% of infants are infected before birth. After their first birthday, children tend to be most at risk for cytomegalovirus if they attend day care or preschool, where up to 70% of children younger than 3 years of age have been infected with or are transmitting CMV. Once a person has had a first CMV infection, the virus lies dormant in the body throughout life, and can be reactivated. Usually, a reactivated infection causes few or no symptoms. When signs and symptoms do appear, they may be similar to those seen in infectious mononucleosis A newborn can be infected with CMV before birth - almost always because the child's mother developed a first-time CMV infection during pregnancy.

Following infection, the virus persists in the host but the carrier is protected from disease by its immune system. Both cellular and humoral (antibody) activities are believed to be involved in the defense against such CMV-induced active disease. The Department of Immunotechnology has had a longstanding interest in research on antibody responses in humans against cytomegalovirus. The research has mainly focused on such antibody responses against the diagnostically important antigen pp65 (lower matrix protein; ppUL83) and the therapeutically interesting surface glycoprotein B (gB; gp58/116; gpUL55).

C ytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent pathogen, with 40 to 100 percent of the general population showing prior exposure by serology. Up to 20 percent of children in the United States will have contracted CMV before puberty. Children may in turn be reinfected with different strains of the virus. Infection also is common during adolescence, which directly corresponds to the start of sexual activity. Cytomegalovirus is not highly contagious and is contracted from close personal contact with persons who excrete the virus in their bodily fluids. CMV is a member of the Herpesviridae family, which includes the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and herpesvirus 6, 7, and 8.

    Extractions: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) rarely causes disease in healthy people. This is particularly true when infection occurs in childhood. Most individuals are infected in the first few years of life and by adulthood 70-90% of people have IgG antibodies. Virus is secreted in the saliva of healthy carriers and transmission usually occurs through close contact. When infection occurs in adulthood it may cause an infectious mononucleosis- like illness associated with hepatitis, fever and lymphacytosis. Like other herpes viruses, following primary infection, the virus becomes latent and may reactivate at any stage. Transmission: (1) Close contact

    Extractions: Overview The cytomegalovirus (CMV) is related to the herpes virus and is present in almost everyone. Normally, most people’s immune systems are able to fight the virus, preventing it from causing problems in their bodies. However, when the immune system is suppressed because of disease (HIV), organ or bone marrow transplant, or chemotherapy, the CMV virus can cause damage and disease to the eye and the rest of the body.

About half of all (not just HIV+) adults in developed countries are infected. Almost all gay/bisexual men with HIV are infected, and 75% of other HIV+ have it. CMV attacks the eyes (retina), colon, and throat. Less commonly, it can infect almost any other internal organ.

Ask the Expert Cytomegalovirus Retinitis (CMV Retinitis) Definition Symptoms Treatment Clinic Information Definition Cytomegalovirus retinitis, or CMV retinitis, is the most common severe infection affecting the eye in patients with AIDS. The disease typically occurs during the late stages of AIDS when individuals have a T cell , or CD4 count, of less than 100. Left untreated, CMV can take a person's sight within two to six months. Symptoms Blurry vision Eye pain Photophobia Floaters Eye redness Loss of vision Traditional treatment has used intravenous medications that are given daily via a permanent catheter. Newer treatments have become available over the past year which either do not require intravenous therapy or which can be given less frequently. One such therapy, called a vitrasert implant, has recently been shown to be superior to intravenous therapy in controlling the CMV infection, as reported by Dr. David Musch from the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center in the New England Journal of Medicine. The vitrasert implant is surgically placed in the eye and so delivers a high concentration of drug directly to where the infection is located. Retinal surgeons at the Kellogg Eye Center perform these surgeries on a routine basis. The implant procedure is done as an outpatient and is effective for approximately six to nine months, at which time a second device can be implanted.

    Extractions: CMV, a member of the herpes virus family of DNA viruses, is a large, membrane-enveloped virus. Like other members of the herpes virus family, CMV possesses the characteristics of latency and reactivation, which means that viral infection can reactivate repeatedly with viral shedding occurring for many years after initial infection. CMV is widely prevalent throughout the world and most infections are asymptomatic. Major manifestations are: mononucleosis, congenital CMV infection (CMV is the most common cause of virus-induced mental retardation in the Western World); graft rejection in organ transplant recipients; severe pneumonia, hepatitis and CMV retinitis in immunosuppressed individuals. CMV retinitis, an infection that progresses to blindness, afflicts approximately 15 to 40 percent of AIDS patients. CMV retinitis usually begins as a white infiltrate within the retina, and can progress rapidly to cause destruction of retinal tissue. Retinal damage can lead to detachment of the retina, occurring in 15 to 29 percent of patients with AIDS-related CMV retinitis, and permanent loss of vision. Each year, approximately 40,000 infants are born with congenital CMV, which is transmitted congenitally (or in the womb through the placenta) from mother to fetus. Whether due to a severe disease at birth or to long-term sequellae of a latent infection, congenital CMV infection is a leading cause of congenital deafness and mental retardation.

CMV is a member of the herpes group of viruses. Most people get CMV at some time in their lives Most adults and children who catch CMV have no symptoms and are not harmed by the virus. Symptoms some people may get are fever, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen glands. CMV can stay in the body (latent form) and can reactivate in some people. CMV is usually spread through close person-to-person contact CMV may be found in body secretions, such as urine, saliva, feces, blood and blood products, breast milk, semen and cervical secretions. CMV can be in these secretions for months to years after the infection. Infection is spread from person to person through close contact, including kissing as well as getting saliva or urine on your hands and then touching your nose or mouth. A pregnant woman who is infected may also pass the virus to her developing baby. A baby may also be infected during birth, as a newborn, and through breast feeding. CMV can be spread through blood transfusion and organ transplantation.

    Extractions: CMV stands for cytomegalovirus. Cytomegalovirus is a member of the herpesvirus family. Viruses have been around for thousands of years and there are many kinds of viruses. A virus can't live on its own or spread on its own, but needs human cells to live and grow. Most people are infected with some kind of virus, but the immune system usually keeps them from causing active disease. When the immune system is not working well, a virus like CMV can cause illness. T4 cell counts are one way to measure how well the immune system is working in people with HIV. The risk of developing illness due to CMV is greatest when theT4 cell count is less than 100. The most common illness caused by CMV in people with AIDS is retinitis. CMV retinitis is an infection of the eye that can lead to blindness. Other forms of CMV disease are colitis (CMV in the intestine), esophagitis (in the mouth or throat), myelitis (spine), and sometimes encephalopathy (brain), and pneumonitis (in the lungs). Left untreated, CMV can spread throughout the body, infecting one or more organs at once and resulting in a great variety of symptoms. Symptoms The signs of CMV retinitis are vision problems, such as moving black spots known as "floaters," or blind spots. These indicate an inflammation of the retina of the eye. A doctor that specializes in eye problems, called an ophthalmologist, can check for CMV by doing a simple eye examination. If you have a low T4 cell count, it's important to get regular eye exams to check for early signs of CMV retinitis.
