What is Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Signs and Symptoms: Most healthy people who have a cytomegalovirus infection will have few, if any, symptoms. When signs and symptoms do appear, they may be similar to those seen in infections like mononucleosis. A newborn can be infected with cytomegalovirus before birth - almost always because the child's mother developed a first-time cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy. Most of the time the infected infant shows no symptoms at birth, but in 5-25 percent of cases, symptoms appear over the next several years. These symptoms may include neurologic and developmental problems, sight or hearing problems, and dental abnormalities. Rarely, a newborn may have a life-threatening infection. Also rarely, infants can be infected with cytomegalovirus during or soon after delivery: when they pass through the birth canal of an infected mother, through breast milk from a mother with the virus, or from a

Vical Targets Development of Novel Cytomegalovirus Vaccine Posted on: 02/06/2003 SAN DIEGO Vical Incorporated announced today that a DNA-based vaccine against cytomegalovirus (CMV) will be its first independent development program focused on infectious diseases. Currently, there is no approved vaccine or even a late-stage vaccine development program for CMV. Vical intends to begin human Phase I clinical testing of the vaccine by year-end 2003 for an initial indication in humans at greatest risk of serious complications from CMV infection patients undergoing bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. Future development could lead to a vaccine for other high-risk groups such as immunocompromised individuals and women of reproductive age, and eventually to a universal vaccine for pediatric use. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences has estimated the cost of treating the consequences of CMV infection in the United States at more than $4 billion per year and placed a CMV vaccine in its first priority category on the basis of cost-effectiveness(1). "A vaccine to protect against CMV disease offers Vical a compelling market opportunity consistent with our product development strategy," said Vical's president and CEO, Vijay Samant. "Our initial focus on the transplantation indication should allow straightforward, early proof-of-concept that could then lead to a larger downstream commercial opportunity. The unmet medical need in pregnant women at-risk for CMV infection and the need for controlling viral transmission in the general population may allow substantial product expansion in the years ahead. Success in our first independent vaccine programs with our patented technology platforms would pave the way for development of additional vaccines against other infectious diseases."

Cytomegalovirus Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) rarely causes disease in healthy people. This is particularly true when infection occurs in childhood. Most individuals are infected in the first few years of life and by adulthood 70-90% of people have IgG antibodies. Virus is secreted in the saliva of healthy carriers and transmission usually occurs through close contact. When infection occurs in adulthood it may cause an infectious mononucleosis- like illness associated with hepatitis, fever and lymphacytosis. Like other herpes viruses, following primary infection, the virus becomes latent and may reactivate at any stage. Transmission: (1) Close contact (2) Blood transfusion There are two clinical situations where infection with CMV may cause serious disease Congenital infection Immunosuppressed individuals Congenital infection If a mother becomes infected with HCMV during pregnancy , the infant is at risk of congenital infection. Congenital HCMV infection is a difficult clinical problem to manage because (1) maternal infection is usually asymptomatic (2) the foetus may be damaged at any stage during pregnancy (3) either re-activation or primary infection in the mother can result in foetal infection (4) the vast majority of HCMV infected babies do not develop congenital abnormalities.

Tests and Procedures Conditions and Diagnoses Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Explanation Symptoms Treatment What is cytomegalovirus? Cytomegalovirus is a virus that is very common. Most adults and many children have been around someone with cytomegalovirus. After a person has a cytomegalovirus infection, the virus becomes non-active in the body. It can reactivate months or years later. This most often happens when a person's immune system is weakened. Cytomegalovirus is usually spread by contact with the urine or saliva of a person with an infection. It can also be spread by contact with blood, tears or breast milk. The major concern for the general public is the risk to the developing baby if a pregnant woman gets the infection. Anyone with a weakened immune system is at risk for problems after a cytomegalovirus infection. The weakened immune system can be related to diseases such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). For other people, medical treatments can weaken the immune system. People treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or steroid therapy and organ transplant patients have a weakened immune system during treatment.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Cytomegalovirus After-Effects Cytomegalovirus After-Effects March 15, 2002 Question I'm a 42-year-old female. 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.

VIH y SIDA VIH y SIDA Infección por Cytomegalovirus Revisión, junio 1.999 El Cytomegalovirus El Cytomegalovirus (CMV) es un virus miembro de la familia de los herpes que infecta y produce enfermedad en humanos. Todos los herpesvirus son partículas grandes compuestas por envoltura externa, nucleocápside y un core que contiene proteínas y el genoma viral (ADN). Otros virus de esta familia son los Herpesvirus humanos 1, 2, 6, 7 y 8, el virus de la varicela-zoster y el virus de Epstein-Barr. Todos ellos inducen una infección latente de por vida en sus huéspedes y tienen capacidad para transformar células, bien de sus huéspedes o de otros diferentes. Situación en España Dentro del contexto del SIDA y como enfermedad indicativa de éste, la enfermedad por CMV ha supuesto el 1,5% de todos los casos declarados en 1.998 (hasta septiembre) mientras que la retinitis por CMV supuso el 1,3%. De los 25.134 casos de SIDA declarados entre enero de 1.994 y junio de 1.998, 559 (2,2%) presentaban enfermedad por CMV y 439 (1,7%) retinitis por CMV.

Findings of the Foscarnet-Ganciclovir Cytomegalovirus Retinitis Trial National Eye Institute (NEI) October 29, 1991 Abstract: Important information on survival in persons with AIDS who have CMV retinitis is being provided as a Clinical Alert (summary follows), while a publication is being prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed medical journal. <1.2 ml/min/kg, a survival benefit was seen for ganciclovir. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is estimated from serum creatinine as: CrCl=(140-age)/(creatinine x 72) for males; CrCl=((140-age)/creatinine x 72))x0.85 for females. These findings suggest that foscarnet may be the preferable initial treatment for CMV retinitis, with the exception of patients with decreased renal function. The complete Clinical Alert is available from the AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service, 1-800-TRIALS-A. This 800 number can be reached from Canada as well. The treatment protocols for this alert have been mailed to all libraries that are members of the National Network of LIbraries of Medicine.

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% 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%. Over 90% 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.

HIV Issues and Topics Prevention HIV Disease Candiasis ... Information Opportunistic Infections: Cytomegalovirus Disease Basic Information Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is latent in most persons with HIV in nearly 70% of heterosexuals and 95% of gay men. Like many other opportunistic infections, the pathogen lies "dormant" in the body after: initial infection in infancy or childhood sexual transmission receiving infected blood products The virus typically reactivates in persons whose CD4 cell counts fall below 100 or, more frequently, below 50. This herpesvirus causes active disease in persons with advanced HIV disease and most often manifests itself as: CMV retinitis (in up to 40% of patients) CMV gastrointestinal disease including CMV esophagitis (10%) and CMV colitis (in less than 10%) It can affect virtually any organ however, and less frequently, though increasing in incidence, can cause neurologic disease including encephalitis and very rarely pulmonary disease suggesting CMV dissemination.

Herpesviruses Slide Set CYTOMEGALOVIRUS Cytomegalovirus is named after the appearance of its cytopathic effect in cell culture. In addition, CMV produces typical owl's eye intranuclear inclusion bodies in infected cells. Properties A member of the herpesvirus family ds DNA enveloped virus Nucleocapsid 105nm in diameter, 162 capsomers 2 additional forms are seen in cell culture ; (i) "dense body", which does not contain DNA or nucleocapsid (ii) "non-infectious enveloped particle" (NIEP), consists of an empty capsid surrounded by a lipid envelope. The structure of the genome of CMV is similar to other herpesviruses, consisting of long and short segments which may be orientated in either direction, giving a total of 4 isomers. A large no. of proteins are encoded for, the precise number is unknown. Some areas of the CMV genome are homologous with regions of human chromosomal DNA. This means that probes for CMV DNA must be carefully evaluated before being to used to diagnose CMV infection in human cells. Also, this has fueled speculation that CMV may be oncogenic although there is no concrete evidence to date. The genome also contains a gene with striking homology to class I HLA molecules, although its function remains to be defined. The CMV DNA can also be digested with restriction endonucleases so that, following electrophoresis, oligonucleotide patterns characteristic of different strains can be produced. Although this technique cannot totally prove that 2 strains of CMV are identical, it does, however produce useful epidemiological information. There is no evidence to suggest that any one strain is associated with any particular type of clinical disease.

IgG antibodies will be present in a high proportion of adults from previous, often asymptomatic, infection. Seroconversion, with a fourfold increase in titre, supports the diagnosis. The presence of specific (CMV) IgM antibody may indicate recent infection, but levels may remain increased for long periods and false positives also occur, making the test less useful than IgM detection in other infections. Virus detection, culture of urine, buffy coat or tissue may be required. Histological identification of virus and its cytopathic effects in infected cells (biopsy of eg lung, liver, colon, kidney) is a more specific test for infection than is demonstration of excretion of virus.
