	Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
		CMV infection is common in all human populations.

	Congenital CMV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Naturally acquired CMV infection appears to confer cross-reactive immunity to infection with new strains of CMV, but this protection is not complete, because reinfection with a second strain of CMV has been documented in transplant recipients, women attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases, and healthy children attending day-care centers.
		Ocular involvement with CMV occurs in 10-20% of symptomatic infants.
		A CMV hyperimmune globulin has been licensed to prevent CMV disease in renal transplant patients, but its use in the treatment of newborns with congenital CMV disease or in the prevention of transmission of CMV infection to the fetus has not been evaluated.

	Cytomegalovirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CMV viruses are found in many mammal species, but CMV species isolated from animals differ from human CMV in terms of genomic structure, and have not been reported to cause human disease.
		CMV is a member of the herpesvirus group, which includes herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles), and Epstein-Barr virus (which, together with CMV, are the main causes for infectious mononucleosis).
		CMV infection without symptoms is common in infants and young children; as a result, it is common to not exclude from school or an institution a child known to be infected.

		CMV, which is a member of the herpes virus family, is most common in young children.

		In that study, 78 percent of babies of women who developed CMV in the third trimester were infected, compared to 44 percent in the second trimester, and 36 percent in the first trimester.

	Project Inform: CMV [ HIV / AIDS Treatment Information ]
		CMV is a member of the herpes family of viruses and is primarily a sexually transmitted disease, but it can also be transmitted from mother-to-child, through blood transfusions, by close personal contact and via organ transplantation.
		Diagnosis of CMV in the colon is difficult, and it requires at least 4–6 weeks to demonstrate that CMV is the cause of colitis and not other possible infections such as bacteria, fungi, parasites or other viruses.
		One of the fears around CMV preventative therapy is that if someone does develop CMV during therapy, then their treatment options are severely limited as a result of resistance and cross-resistance (resistance to one drug results in resistance to other drugs) to other CMV therapies.

	Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
		Symptoms of CMV depend on the organs that are affected.
		CMV retinitis, for example, can often be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor), simply by looking at the back of the eye.
