[Cytomegalovirus (CMV)]
Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an ubiquitous agent. CMV infection is a common, usually subclinical world wide infection with a tendency for virulence in congenitally-infected infants and immunosuppressed patients including allograft recipients and patients with AIDS. Anti-CMV drugs are used for the treatment of severe infections in immunosuppressed patients. Developments of vaccine to protect pregnant women from primary infection are in progress.
