Treatment Cytomegalovirus 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. Photographs of retinas affected with CMV retinitis CMV is the most common type of virus that infects those who are HIV positive. It affects the eye in about 30% of the cases by causing damage to the retina This is called CMV retinitis.

History of the Cytomegalovirus HARRIS D. RILEY, JR., MD, Oklahoma City, Okla CYTOMEGALOVIRUSES (CMVs) are ubiquitous agents that commonly infect many animals, including humans. Human CMV is an ancient virus closely linked to its natural host, human beings. Evidence of infection has been detected in the Tiriyo Indians in remote sections of Brazil in the absence of evidence of measles and influenza infections. As with other herpesviruses, primary CMV infection is usually followed by persistent and/or recurrent infections.1 When CMV comes in contact with the fetus, the infection may be limited by the various host defense mechanisms of the mother and/or the fetus. The results may range from subtle abnormalities not detectable at birth to severe generalized disease in the newborn period. The latter, more recognizable form of the infection has been better documented than the milder manifestations.2 More recently, evidence has accumulated to document the occurrence of acquired forms of the infection. Since that time CMV has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen in immunologically compromised hosts.3 In view of the important developments in our knowledge of the biology of cytomegalovirus, it is appropriate to review the history of this important virus. DISCOVERY OF INTRANUCLEAR INCLUSIONS Further experimental evidence confirming the viral etiology of the disease was provided by Cole and Kuttner11 from experimental studies of the disease in guinea pigs. In 1926, these researchers induced the formation of inclusion bodies in guinea pigs. Using filtered material and a Berkefeld N filter impermeable to bacteria, they found the guinea pig virus to be heat sensitive and relatively unstable. Andrewes12 attempted to propagate rodent salivary gland viruses in vitro. Although he was able to show intranuclear inclusion-body formation in primary cultures, attempts at serial propagation of the agent were unsuccessful.2

Cytomegalovirus From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia. Cytomegalovirus , also often labeled CMV, is a type of Herpes virus also known (in humans) as human herpesvirus type 5, or HHV-5. It is in the betaherpesvirinae subfamily of Herpes. The name means "cell very big virus CMV especially attacks salivary glands and may also be devastating or even fatal to fetuses .

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

The mother's illness may be subclinical (without symptoms or asymptomatic ), and she may be unaware that any problems exist. The majority of congenitally infected children are asymptomatic. The symptomatic infant is characteristically born with a petechial rash (a rash that looks like fine purplish-colored dots), a large spleen and liver, jaundice , inflammation of the retina , intracranial calcifications (mineral deposits within the brain), and a small head (microcephaly).

Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is estimated from serum creatinine as: CrCl=(140-age)/(creatinine x 72) for males; CrCl=((140-age)/creatinine x 72))x0.85 for females. These findings suggest that foscarnet may be the preferable initial treatment for CMV retinitis, with the exception of patients with decreased renal function. The complete Clinical Alert is available from the AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service, 1-800-TRIALS-A. This 800 number can be reached from Canada as well. The treatment protocols for this alert have been mailed to all libraries that are members of the National Network of LIbraries of Medicine.

a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network cytomegalovirus (CMV) 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.

Prematurity Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Cytomegalovirus Infection in Pregnancy Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection that usually causes no symptoms in infected children and adults. CMV, which is a member of the herpes virus family, is most common in young children. By age 30, about half of all adults in the United States have been infected. Young children with CMV can spread it to susceptible family members and other caretakers. When a pregnant woman becomes infected, she can pass the virus on to her fetus. In a minority of cases, this leads to serious illness in the newborn, lasting disabilities and even death. How is CMV spread? CMV can be passed from person to person through contact with infected body fluids such as saliva, urine, blood and mucus. It also can be transmitted sexually or from infected blood products. Infected adults occasionally develop a mononucleosis-like illness, which can include symptoms such as sore throat, fever, body aches and fatigue. CMV can cause serious illness, such as sight-threatening eye infections and pneumonia, in individuals with AIDS and other disorders of the immune system, and in organ-transplant recipients.

[View All Articles] Cytomegalovirus What you need to know: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection most often seen in young children. It usually is harmless and does not cause symptoms. When a pregnant woman becomes infected, however, she can pass the virus to her baby. This can lead to serious illness, lasting disabilities or death. CMV is the most common congenital (present at birth) infection in the United States. About 40,000 babies are born infected each year. Luckily, most of these babies will not be harmed by the virus. About 8,000 babies, however, will develop lifelong disabilities as a result of their CMV infection. What you can do: You can help prevent CMV infection by doing the following: Wash your hands often, especially if you are around young children (1 to 3 years). Carefully throw away diapers, tissues and other contaminated items. Avoid sharing drinking glasses and utensils with young children as well. Health care workers, child care providers and others who are around large numbers of young children on a regular basis may want to be tested to see if they have had CMV before they get pregnant.

A Few Facts About Cytomegalovirus From the International Adoption Clinic, Minneapolis What is cytomegalovirus? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus found among people worldwide. Infection rates are higher and exposure to the virus occurs at an earlier age in developing countries, in lower socioeconomic groups in industrialized nations, and in Asian populations. In many underdeveloped countries, virtually all of the people have had CMV, while in the United States, only 40-50% of women in upper and middle socioeconomic groups have had the infection by the time they reach their child-bearing years. How does a person get CMV? Cytomegalovirus is transmitted from one person to another through direct contact with bodily fluids. Urine may contain large amounts of the virus, which can also be found in saliva, tears, breast milk, semen and cervical secretions, and blood products. How do you know when a person has CMV?

35. CYTOMEGALOVIRUS Conditions and Syndromes that can Result in Deafblindness cytomegalovirus. Prenatal causes of deafblindness include rubella, cytomegalovirus and toxoplasmosis. http://www.deafblind.com/cytomedb.html

Go Back to The Archives Page. Conditions and Syndromes that can Result in Deafblindness CYTOMEGALOVIRUS. Various syndromes and congenital conditions affect both the eye and the ear. This can be attributed in part to the development in the embryo of the eye and ear during the same time period, during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. There are also similarities between the two organs, such as their common origin. As a result there are many diseases and symptom complexes which affect both sense organs and result in dual sensory impairment or deafblindness. It follows that prenatal causes of deafness may be associated with visual impairment whereas with postnatal causes there will be hardly any association. Prenatal causes of deafblindness include rubella, cytomegalovirus and toxoplasmosis. Congenital rubella syndrome consists of deafness, cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy and heart defects. Rubella is well known but in countries with effective immunisation programmes the number of newly diagnosed children is very low. A survey of 666 people known to Sense in Britain included only 2 children with congenital rubella syndrome under the age of 5. However there are many young peple and adults with congenital rubella syndrome and their education, continuing education, quality of life and health issues remains the major concern for many readers of Deafblind Education. A later edition of Deafblind Education will include an article on the possible delayed effects or manifestations of rubella.

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.
