Description[edit | edit source]
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection, also known as herpesvirus type 5, is a common virus belonging to the herpes family that affects a variety of individuals across the lifespan[1]. It is currently the leading cause of congenital infections in the world, and can cause long term consequences such as hearing loss, visual deficits, and cognitive delays[2][3]. It is frequently acquired in late childhood or early adulthood, and is rarely symptomatic, except in the immunocompromised.
