Transmission of [[CMV]] occurs from person to person and primary [[CMV infection]] causes activation of the [[immune system]] and resulting in a [[mononucleosis]] like presentation with [[hepatitis]] in [[immunocompromised]] individuals and few [[immunocompetent]] individuals. Reactivation can occur in response to [[inflammatory]] stimuli, physiologic [[stress]] and [[immunosuppression]] releasing new [[virions]] that can infect new cells causing [[CMV]] end organ infection. | |||

Overview
Transmission of CMV occurs from person to person and primary CMV infection causes activation of the immune system and resulting in a mononucleosis like presentation with hepatitis in immunocompromised individuals and few immunocompetent individuals. Reactivation can occur in response to inflammatory stimuli, physiologic stress and immunosuppression releasing new virions that can infect new cells causing CMV end organ infection.
Pathophysiology
Transmission
- Transmission of CMV occurs from person to person.[1]
- Infection requires close, intimate contact with a person excreting the virus in their saliva, urine, blood, tears, and semen.
- The shedding of virus may take place intermittently, without any detectable signs, and without causing symptoms.
- CMV can be sexually transmitted and can also be transmitted via breast milk, transplanted organs, and rarely from blood transfusions.[2]
Pathogenesis
- Primary CMV infection causes activation of the immune system and results in a mononucleosis like presentation and its complications in immunocompromised individuals and few immunocompetent individuals.[3][4][5][6][7]
- In majority of immunocompetent people, primary CMV infection is sub clinical and asymptomatic.
- Following primary infection the virus persists in a latent form in the host tissues invading the immune system.[8]
- Reactivation can occur in response to inflammatory stimuli, physiologic stress and immunosuppression releasing new virions that can infect new cells causing cmv end organ infection.
- T-cells play a role in controlling the replication of the virus.
- In patients with T-cell deficiency the viral replication is uncontrolled and results in excessive shedding of the virus.
- Reactivation of the virus results in the release of cytokines such as TNF-α and IFN-γ resulting in inflammation.
Genetics
- Patients with polymorphisms in the genes coding for mannose binding lectin and ficolin-2 are at a higher risk of developing CMV infection.[9]
Associated Conditions
- Symptomatic cytomegalovirus is associated with HIV infection in majority of patients.[10][11]
Microscopic Pathology
- CMV infection demonstrates the presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies. These inclusion bodies stain dark pink on an H&E stain, and are also called "Owl's Eye" inclusion bodies.
