I read through the archives and did not see it listed. My question relates to working with children with CMV and the precautions that need to be taken. Also, the precautions, if any, that need to be taken when visiting the homes of these children. Should precautions only be taken by pregnant women or by women of child bearing age, in general. I have read conflicting reports. I appreciate any assistance you can offer on the topic. Robert Steele Robert W.

cytomegalovirus By Danielle Zerr, MD Images (click to view larger image) Cytomegalovirus is a virus that causes different illnesses in different groups of people. What is going on in the body? Cytomegalovirus, also known as CMV, is a common infection. Although lifelong, the virus usually remains quiet in the tissues of the body after the initial infection. It can, however, be shed in the mouth, urine, and genital tract, serving as a source of infection for other people. CMV can also cause a second, more severe infection if the immune system becomes weak for any reason. What are the signs and symptoms of the disease? Symptoms primarily depend on the age of the person and the strength of his or her immune system. CMV may infect a healthy unborn baby while it is still in the womb. Roughly 5% of infants who get CMV this way have serious birth defects. These can include brain damage, growth failure, blindness, and other defects. This problem usually occurs when a pregnant mother gets a CMV infection for the first time during pregnancy. When CMV happens in early childhood, it usually causes no symptoms at all. This is thought to be the most common form of CMV infection.

Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Congenital cytomegalovirus is caused when an infected mother passes CMV virus to the fetus through the placenta. The mother's illness may be subclinical (without symptoms or asymptomatic ), and she may be unaware that any problems exist. The majority of congenitally infected children are asymptomatic. The symptomatic infant is characteristically born with a petechial rash (a rash that looks like fine purplish-colored dots), a large spleen and liver, jaundice , inflammation of the retina , intracranial calcifications (mineral deposits within the brain), and a small head (microcephaly). Only about 1 out of 10 infants congenitally infected with CMV are thought to exhibit these symptoms.

What You Should Know About AIDS and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Retinitis What is HIV and AIDS? Infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) occurs from unprotected sexual contact or injection of blood or blood products (transfusion, sharing of needles). HIV infection is a chronic, slowly progressive, and usually fatal disease. The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final, pre-terminal phase of the HIV illness, often occurring years after the initial infection.. Current estimates of HIV infection are staggering. Worldwide numbers include 33,400,000 persons living with HIV and 13,900,000 deaths. Nearly 16,000 people become HIV-positive every day. Tragically, over 10,000,000 children have become orphaned due to HIV infection. What are the eye problems found in AIDS? There are a myriad of eye infections and tumors found with HIV and AIDS, including Kaposi's sarcoma, molluscum contagiosum, herpes zoster, HIV retinopathy, syphilis, cryptococcus, and toxoplasmosis. By far and away, the most common vision-threatening infection is an infection of the retina called cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A TREATMENT FOR CMV? ... THE BOTTOM LINE WHAT IS CMV? Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic infection. About 50% of the general population and 90% of people with HIV carry CMV. A healthy immune system keeps this virus in check. When HIV or another disease weakens immune defenses, CMV can attack several parts of the body. The most common illness caused by CMV is retinitis. This is the death of cells in the retinas, the back of the eye. It can quickly cause blindness unless treated. CMV can spread throughout the body and infect several organs at once. The risk of CMV is highest when CD4 cell counts are below 100. The first signs of CMV retinitis are vision problems such as moving black spots. These are called "floaters." They may indicate an inflammation of the retina. Some doctors recommend eye exams to catch CMV retinitis. The exams are done by an ophthalmologist (an eye specialist.) If your CD4 count is below 200 and you experience any vision problems, tell your doctor immediately. HOW IS CMV TREATED?

Abstract from The Cochrane Library , Issue 1, 2003 Click here to order the full review Cytomegalovirus prophylaxis with antiviral agents for solid organ transplantation (Cochrane Review) Couchoud C ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 25 June 1998. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplantation. It is also associated with an increased risk of opportunistic infections, allograft injury and higher transplantation costs. CMV infection also seems to increase the risk of acute and chronic rejection of allografts via immune-mediated vascular injury. These serious consequences of CMV disease have lead to the development of effective strategies for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. However, there is no consensus on the necessity and the efficacy of CMV prophylaxis. Objectives: To assess the efficacy of antiviral agents in solid organ transplant recipients in the prevention of cytomegalovirus infection and symptomatic disease and in the reduction of the incidence of acute rejection, graft loss and death. Search strategy: A computerised search was conducted on Medline, Embase and Pascal. The reference lists of the current review articles and some congress proceedings were searched manually (Transplantation Proceedings, American Thoracic Society, European Society of Organ Transplantation).
