  • Pregnant women who have never had CMV may acquire the infection easily through contact with infected people, most commonly young children. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Infection of pregnant, naïve sows may lead to delivery of dead, mummified, stillborn or weak piglets. (iastate.edu)
  • Fetal mummification, stillbirths, neonatal deaths and failure of piglets to thrive have been associated with infection of naïve, pregnant sows. (iastate.edu)
  • However, the infection may be life-threatening in affected immunocompromised patients. (embl.de)
  • Between 50% and 80% of adults in the United States have had a CMV infection by age 40. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Over half of adults are believed to have been infected with Cytomegalovirus or CMV by age 40. (monitor.co.ug)
  • Blood tests show that 60 to 90% of adults have had a CMV infection at some time. (msdmanuals.com)
  • In developing countries, most infections are acquired during childhood, whereas in developed countries, up to 50% of young adults are CMV seronegative. (medscape.com)
  • Chronic infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been proposed as a contributor to poorer responses in older adults. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Evidence-based recommendations on maribavir (Livtencity) for cytomegalovirus infection in adults after transplant. (bvsalud.org)
  • In resolution WHA53.14 the Health Assembly requested the Director-General to develop a global health-sector strategy for responding to the epidemics of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections. (who.int)
  • Four fundamental benefits derive from investment in control of sexually transmitted infections. (who.int)
  • other sexually transmitted infections enhance the sexual transmission of HIV: genital herpes specifically, and genital ulcers in general, increase the transmission of HIV 50-300-fold per episode of unprotected sexual intercourse. (who.int)
  • Sexually transmitted infections can be brought under control provided that sufficient political will and resources are mobilized to initiate and maintain activities at a critical level. (who.int)
  • In the past ten years, genetic testing has emerged as the most important etiological diagnostic test for evaluation of children with deafness and congenital cytomegalovirus has been recognized as a major cause of childhood deafness that may be treatable. (nature.com)
  • Most people don't know they have cytomegalovirus (CMV) because it rarely causes problems in healthy people. (mayoclinic.org)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is usually asymptomatic in healthy individuals and manifests as a life and sight threatening disease commonly amongst immunocompromised and HIV infected individuals. (pediatriconcall.com)
  • Among 49 infants who developed TB disease over the first 2 years of life, and 129 healthy matched controls, we found the cytomegalovirus-stimulated (CMV-stimulated) IFN-γ response to be associated with CD8+ T cell activation (Spearman's rho, P = 6 × 10-8). (jci.org)
  • The mean birthweight, gestational age, and head circumference of children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection were not significantly different from those of controls. (bmj.com)
  • Is cytomegalovirus viraemia a useful tool in managing CMV disease? (bmj.com)
  • In 1961 the disease was identified as a transplacental infection of fetal pigs. (iastate.edu)
  • The disease and infection are largely ignored by swine raisers. (iastate.edu)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a pathogen of emerging importance for patients with septic shock. (cdc.gov)
  • In patients with HIV infection, CMV involves the entire GI tract. (medscape.com)
  • This review aimed to examine studies of congenital CMV infection and determine when and how to treat infected patients. (e-cep.org)
  • Patients will be instructed to watch the site for bleeding, swelling, signs of infection, or bruising. (iowalum.com)
  • The majority of patients with Zika virus infections are asymptomatic. (cdc.gov)
  • Other patients with scleroderma or achalasia may have a foamy esophagus with innumerable bubbles layering out in the barium column as a result of a yeast form of the infection (see the image below). (medscape.com)
  • About one out of every 200 babies is born with congenital CMV infection. (cdc.gov)
  • About one in five babies with congenital CMV infection will have long-term health problems. (cdc.gov)
