ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS OF CYTOMEGALOVIRAL INFECTION

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 cytomegal...

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.
