   Extractions: 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?

   Extractions: Most healthy people, especially children, who have a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection will have few, if any, 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. Most of the time the infected infant shows no symptoms at birth, but in some cases, symptoms appear over the next several years. These symptoms may include neurologic, growth, and developmental problems; sight or hearing problems; and dental abnormalities. Rarely, a newborn may have a life-threatening infection. Infants can be infected with CMV during or soon after delivery. Infection can occur when they pass through the birth canal of an infected mother, consume breast milk from a mother who has the virus, or receive a blood transfusion contaminated with CMV. Again, most infants initially show no symptoms of CMV infection. When symptoms do appear, they may include lung problems, poor weight gain, swollen glands, rash, hepatitis , and blood problems. Premature infants are more likely to have symptoms than full-term babies.

   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.

   http://www.cdc.gov/node.do/id/0900f3ec80006cd2
   
   Extractions: 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).

    Extractions: December, 1997 CMV infection is very common CMV is a member of the family of viruses called herpesvirus CMV can cause severe disease in people infected with HIV If you aren't already infected with CMV, you can take steps to reduce your chance of infection Cytomegalovirus (si-to-MEG-eh-lo-vi-res), or CMV, is a virus that is found in all populations in all parts of the world. CMV infection is very common; between 50 and 85 percent of all Americans are infected with CMV by age 40. CMV spreads from one person to another in saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, blood, urine, and breast milk. Transmission most often occurs when you touch these body fluids with your hands, then absorb them through your nose or mouth. People can also become infected with CMV through sexual intercourse, blood transfusions, and transplanted organs; in addition, babies can also become infected before or during birth, or through breast-feeding. How do I know if I'm infected with CMV?

O riginal song "Baby Jesus", singer requests anonimity. Because of Sept. 11, 2001 there was a lot of sadness. We lost a lot of lives that day. But there was something great that happened that week to. Three days after the tragedy a beautiful baby girl came into the world. Madison Taylor Barcellos was born on September 14, 2001. She weighed 6lbs. 5ozs. and 19 and a half inches. While at the hospital she ended up with a colon infection. They found out that she was allergic to milk. That started everything else. When they did a blood test on her they found out that her platelet count was low. From the start they were in contact with Valley Children's Hospital. After spending 4 days at the hospital and her count was still dropping, they transported her to Valley Children's now known as Children's Hospital of Central California. She spent 6 days there.

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

    Extractions: Communicable Disease (CMV) Further Information Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research What is Cytomegalovirus, (CMV)? CMV is a common virus that infects most people at some time during their lives but rarely causes obvious illness. It is a member of the herpes virus family. Other members of the herpes virus family cause chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis, fever blisters (herpes I) and genital herpes (herpes II) . Like other herpes viruses, CMV infection can become dormant for a while and may reactivate at a later time. The virus is carried by people and is not associated with food, water or animals. Who gets CMV? Anyone can become infected with CMV. Almost all people have been exposed to CMV by the time they reach adulthood. How is CMV spread? Although the virus is not highly communicable, it can be spread from person to person by direct contact. The virus is shed in the urine, , saliva, semen and to a lesser extent in other body fluids. Transmission can also occur from an infected mother to her fetus or newborn and by blood transfusion and organ transplants. What are the symptoms of CMV infection?

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).

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.
