The aim of this review is to summarize the principles of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in pregnancy.In particular, the aim of this review is to evaluate:Incidence and mother-to-child transmissionThe value of screening of pregnant womenDiagnosis of CMV maternal infectionDiagnosis of fetal infection (evaluate the value of ultrasound examination and amniocentesis and evaluate whether the amnioti...

cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection can cause colitis which is usually manifested with fever, weight loss, anorexia and abdominal pain.watery diarrhea can be the only manifestation. cmv colitis usually can not be diagnosed according to the clinical findings. moreover, endoscopic appearance can exactly mimic pseudo-membranous colitis. here by, we are presenting a patient with fever and watery diarrh...

The eyes of an AIDS patient with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis and pneumonitis who died while receiving maintenance therapy with the antiviral agent 9-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethoxymethyl] guanine (Ganciclovir) were obtained for pathological examination. While under treatment the patient had significant improvement but not complete regression of retinitis. Electron microscopic and immuno...

A patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection and cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis developed immune recovery uveitis as a result of receipt of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Fibrovascular changes occurred in the CMV retinitis scar, were misdiagnosed as CMV retinitis reactivation, and were treated with anti-CMV medication. Fibrovascular membranes can be misdiagnosed as reactivated ...

In addition to sensorineural hearing loss, newborns with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection are at increased risk for additional disabilities of varying severity. This analysis concerns language acquisition after cochlear implantation (CI) and CMV. The retrospective evaluation includes 32 children CI, diagnosed CMV their results (n=15) in the German Language Acquisition Test Four- Five Year Old Ch...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important pathogen in HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) patients, as it could drive accelerated disease progression leading to increased morbidity and mortality the population. This cross-sectional study analyzed plasma samples from 93 positive participants Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, investigate magnitude associated factors of...

Giving cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis to CMV positive recipients is expensive in a resource-limited setting like South Africa. We report a retrospective analysis of CMV disease in 47 CMV donor/recipient positive (D+/R+) adult renal transplant patients (> 80% African Blacks) from February 2000 to November 2004 who had received four drug induction immune suppression. We commenced routine valga...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of viral-associated congenital infections. Moreover, it can also be acquired. Between 50 to 80 percent of the world’s population is seropositive for CMV and most clinical disease occurs in individuals previously infected with CMV. Rarely, serious CMV infection has occurred in individuals with healthy immune system. In contrast to immunocompetent patien...

We report five cases of cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompromised patients which were detected by either cytomegalovirus antigenemia assay or in situ hybridization. Four cases had leukemia and the other had chronic renal failure. All the three BMT recipients suffered from GvHD. Interestingly, there was an unique case of CMV disease without a history of BMT, which reminded us that CMV could...

Strongyloides and cytomegalovirus co-infections are rarely reported, even though they distinguished by high morbidity mortality, especially in immunocompromised hosts. We narratively reviewed the literature on reported cases of CMV immunosuppressed patients. Most occurred males with a median age 47 (IQR, 37–59). Strongyloides/CMV among hosts, solid organ transplants hematological or rheumatolog...
