2003 Table of Contents Cytomegalovirus Retinitis in 2003 By James P. Dunn, M.D. The widespread use of potent or highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the development of new systemic and intraocular drug therapies have had an enormous impact on the incidence, clinical features, and long-term outcomes of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. The most common questions asked of treating ophthalmologists some 20 years after AIDS-related CMV retinitis was first described include: What is the incidence of CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS and which patients are at greatest risk? Is there still a role for screening for CMV retinitis? What are the clinical manifestations of CMV retinitis in patients taking HAART, and do they differ from CMV retinitisin those patients not taking HAART? What are the treatment options for CMV retinitis? What are the risks and complications of antiviral resistance to CMV therapy? When can anti-CMV therapy be discon-tinued in patients with immune recovery?

Is there a treatment for CMV? Cytomegalovirus Printer-friendly version Email this article What is cytomegalovirus? Cytomegalovirus (say: "si-toe-meg-ah-low-vi-russ"), or CMV, is a virus that infects cells and causes them to become enlarged. People are usually infected by the time they are 2 years old or during their teenage years. Many people are infected with CMV and don't even know it. CMV usually does not cause long-term problems. However, CMV can cause problems in a newborn if the mother gets the infection during pregnancy. CMV is only spread through contact with an infected person's body fluids (such as saliva, blood, urine, semen or breast milk). It can be sexually transmitted. Careful handwashing with soap and water can help prevent the spread of CMV. Return to top What are the symptoms of CMV? Usually, there are no symptoms. A few people will have symptoms that are similar to mononucleosis (such as a sore throat, fever, headache and tiredness). People who have weakened immune systems because they have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or because they received an organ transplant may have severe symptoms.

Becoming Parent Series High-Risk Newborn Cytomegalovirus (CMV) What is cytomegalovirus (CMV)? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus related to the herpes virus group of infections. Like herpes, it is inactive at times, but it is incurable and is a life-long infection. CMV may be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy and is the most common congenital viral infection. It is also called congenital cytomegalovirus or cytomegalovirus inclusion disease. What causes CMV? CMV without symptoms is common in babies and young children. It is found in saliva, urine, semen, and other body fluids. The virus is easily spread in households and in daycare centers. It can be transmitted to the fetus during pregnancy and to the baby during delivery or in breast milk. Why is CMV a concern? Over half of women of childbearing age become infected with CMV at least six months before becoming pregnant. There appear to be few risks for complications of CMV for this group and only a few babies have the infection at birth. These babies appear to have no significant illness or abnormalities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 to 3 percent of women first become infected with CMV during pregnancy. With a first infection during pregnancy, there is a higher risk that after birth the baby may have CMV-related complications. About 5 to 10 percent of babies with congenital CMV will have signs of the infection at birth. Of these, over 90 percent will have serious complications including hearing loss, visual impairment, mental retardation, or epilepsy. Premature babies may be at increased risk for these problems.

Clinical Notes: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that has infected approximately 80-90% of the human population, often by the age of 2 years. CMV is spread by direct contact or sexual contact. Infection is usually asymptomatic. However there are some groups that are at increased risk for more serious manifestations of infection: At-risk populations Symptoms and signs Babies born to women who have a primary CMV infection during pregnancy Usually asymptomatic at birth, but over next several years, can develop mental and developmental problems and vision or hearing problems (Seronegative) pregnant women who work with infants and children Asymptomatic or symptoms similar to other adults Immunocompromised individuals Fever, pneumonia, liver infection, anemia. Illnesses can last for weeks or months. HIV+ individuals also may develop CMV retinitis which may lead to blindness Some adolescents and adults can possibly show the following mononucleosis-like symptoms during primary infection: high fever, childs, malaise, severe-tiredness, headache, and an enlarged spleen. At the moment, there is no vaccine for CMV. More serious CMV infections can be treated with ganciclovir and also foscarnet (due to its higher toxicity, more as a second-line drug for ganciclovir-resistant mutants).

Three years ago I had what I was told was a virus illness called "CMV". It felt like flu (headache, body aches, extreme tiredness and sore throat). It took about 6 months for me to recover. The problem now is that I have very sensitive spots on my hips that run down the leg to my knees. They feel like they are on fire if I touch them. Answer The diagnosis that you were given 3 yrs ago is CMV or Cytomegalovirus. This can be a very frustrating and waxing and waning illness with fevers, weakness, and aches and pains all over. Other viral infections can also be present concurrently; the major viral problem that causes fatigue and weakness is the Epstein-Barr virus. Sometimes after viral infections like these, a condition known as postviral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) occurs. CFS is something that you can have from many years. Treatments are available to combat the symptoms of CFS, including lifestyle changes like a well-balanced diet and a good exercise program. Cognitive behavior therapy and graded exercise therapy have been quite successful, too. Medications are less helpful. There is a correlation between viral illnesses that produce fatigue, weakness, and especially aches and pains, with certain autoimmune disorders. The burning sensations you describe may be related to an autoimmune disorder. Ask your doctor about this and perhaps he/she can order an autoimmune blood profile.

Contact Us 2002 Pediatric Health News Releases May 6, 2002 - Vaccine Developed to Protect Against Cytomegalovirus Vaccine is First to Be Proved Effective in Animal Model The study was presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Baltimore. The prestigious Institute of Medicine has identified CMV as one of only seven diseases for which vaccine development should be given the highest level priority for research and development. In fact, CMV infection is the second most common identified cause of mental retardation in newborns, after Down syndrome. A mother can pass CMV on to her newborn baby, even if she does not feel ill herself. Unfortunately, the infant, when infected in the womb, can suffer serious consequences. CMV infection is also a leading cause of deafness in children. In the current study, the cloned, recombinant (genetically engineered to be totally pure) vaccine proved to be effective in the guinea pig model in preventing transmission of CMV from mothers to their offspring. The study is also important in demonstrating that targeting a single protein can confer protection to the fetus, according to Dr. Schleiss. And, it demonstrates the importance of proper choice of adjuvant, a product added to many vaccines to boost immune response, he says.

HCMV is the most common congenital infection in the world and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Use of this method to determine the frequency and quantify the magnitude of RhCMV shedding would expand our understanding of the natural history of this infection. Although virus isolation can be used to diagnose RhCMV infection, a long incubation period is required to obtain results. Viral culture also increases the potential risk of laboratory personnel contacting this virus. Furthermore, viral culture is less sensitive, reliable and specific than newer polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques.

Ureaplasma See our assay menu for a complete listing of assays offered Simian Cytomegalovirus (SCMV) Test code: Test name: Qualitative detection of Simian Cytomegalovirus (SCMV) by PCR Simian cytomegalovirus (SCMV) was first described in 1957 as one of seven viruses isolated from the African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops). SCMV, also known as simian agent 6 (SA6) at that time, was first recovered from primary African green monkey kidney cell (AGMK) cultures, giving rise to foci of rounded swollen cells after 2 weeks in culture. Examining the prevalence of SCMV in primary AGMK cells obtained from commercial suppliers indicated that more than 50% of these cultures were positive for the presence of the virus. Neutralizing antibodies to SCMV were found in more than 95% of African green monkey sera studied. Infection of African green monkeys by SCMV appears to be widespread. The use of primary rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) kidney cultures for the production of poliovirus vaccines during the 1950s led to the identification of simian virus 40 (SV40). It was subsequently confirmed that SV40 was a common contaminant of Rhesus monkey culture. Due to the oncogenicity associated with SV40, attempts were made to switch poliovirus vaccine production from rhesus macaque kidney cultures, to ones prepared from African green monkeys. Thus, to ensure a SCMV-free AGMK culture is vital to safe use of poliovirus vaccines.

Cytomegalovirus retinitis In the early stages, CMV retinitis may resemble cotton wool spots as seen in HIV retinopathy. However, unlike the cotton wool spots in HIV retinopathy which tend to be multiple and transient, the lesions seen in CMV retinitis tend to be solitary and show enlargement over time. The retinitis spread along the retinal vessels with white lesions and scattered haemorrhages. The involved vessels show sheathing. The retina behind the advancing edge may be atrophy. The vitreous is quiet and contains little cells. Other signs: Hickman's line in the upper chest for intravenous drug administration. However, in some centres, the patient may have intraocular implant instead. (Note: the use of intravenous line is becoming less common with the use of HAART) Look for AIDS defining lesions such as molluscum contagiosum and Kaposi's sarcoma Questions: 1. What is the most important factor in predicting the development of CMV retinitis in AIDS patient? Answer The CD4+ counts. The chance is increased with falling CD4+ counts. It is estimated that patients with count of less than 50 cells/ml runs a 20% risk of developing CMV retinitis per year.

Frequently the infection passes unnoticed or there may be mild flu-like symptoms. The virus belongs to the herpes family, which includes the chicken-pox, cold sore and glandular fever viruses. Once infection has taken place, the virus remains dormant within the body, usually with no ill effects. However, recurrences of the virus in body fluids may occur at intervals. In the UK about 40 per cent of women are susceptible to CMV at the time of pregnancy. The main risk is when women catch the viral infection for the first time in pregnancy. Women are usually only mildly unwell with a sore throat and flu-like illness. The chance of the baby becoming infected is about 40 per cent. Over 90 per cent of infected babies have no signs of anything wrong at birth. Some of these infants may go on to develop sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) over the first 5 years of life. CMV is probably one of the main causes of isolated bilateral SNHL in childhood. A small proportion of vertically infected children will be symptomatic at birth and they can have pneumonia, liver disease, or neurological problems. The central nervous system problems include microcephaly, cerebral palsy, and developmental delay. Trials are ongoing for the treatment of infected children in the newborn period with antiviral medication. There is no prenatal therapy at present, but trials are starting in this area also.
