description | Discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, the cytomegalic virus (CMV) represents the most frequent cause of infection transmitted
from mother to fetus. The CMV is a DNA virus, pertaining to the sub-family of beta-herpes viruses from the Herpesviridae family. The
infection with the cytomegalic virus has an ubiquitary distribution, without a seasonal prevalence or an epidemic aspect. As for its
pathogeny, it is closely connected to the biological characteristics of the virus, the age and the immunological state of the body. |
