Abstract

Oliveira Falcao

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a common viral infection that affects people worldwide. It is caused by the cytomegalovirus, a member of the herpesvirus family. CMV infection can occur in individuals of all ages, but it poses the greatest risk to certain populations, such as newborns, individuals with weakened immune systems and pregnant women. In this article, we will explore the key aspects of CMV infection, including its transmission, symptoms, diagnosis and management. It can infect people of all ages, but in healthy individuals with a competent immune system, CMV infections usually cause mild or no symptoms. However, CMV can be a significant concern for certain populations, including pregnant women, newborns and individuals with weakened immune systems.
